This was not the intended result for this post. But something terrible happened yesterday and I thought that this was a more deserving title for my outcome.
Dedicated to the victims of Manchester. You are/were so much more than this!
today is life
today is sorrow
an elegy for today
ode to Manchester
for your hurt and pain
while thinking of you
i know you to be more than just beings
today is life
today is sorrow
an elegy for today
i think of so much
of the atrocities inflicted on us
by the cowardliness of humans with no respect for us
i think of the lines blurred
contaminated and destroyed
is this all we will ever be?
all that we capable of as humans?
today is life
today is sorrow
an elegy for today
i think of Manchester
of lives invaded
innocence stole and the unkempt traitor
some of you will never live to see your future
some of you will never know that horror that we live in
i perceive the second one to be a blessing
today is life
today is sorrow
an elegy for today
i think of normalcy
which I no longer recognise
security invaded
this is sadness
like we've never known before
this is for the souls taken from us
i long to immortalise you
to keep you young and naive
today is life
today is sorrow
an elegy for today
it matters
you matter
we have been through worse
nothing like this of course
but we can overcome
i urge you to cry
to scream and shout as loud as you can
this will be our rebirth
we will raise our young generation to be more than this
the generation that was betrayed
we have done this once
we can do it again
i am sorry the world could not keep you safe
i am sorry that we could not keep you safe
i am sorry the world could not keep you safe
i am sorry that we could not keep you safe
today is life
today is sorrow
an elegy for today
ode to Manchester
