A day for my friend's father's father.
Who departed this world is with us no longer

There was a bizarre feeling of utmost happy sad.

By his death they sat broken.
By his life they stood glad.

A boy stands sharply on the station's platform.
All in white a classical doctor’s uniform.
Doesn’t think of dangers which lie ahead.

But there is a train coming for him now.

A girl stands surely on the station’s platform.
With cup of coffee made in her college dorm.
Doesn’t think of dangers which lie ahead.

But there is a train coming for her now.

The brother stands quietly on the station’s platform
Ginger, skinny, a tech wizard in human form.
Won’t face the dangers which lie ahead.

But there is a train coming for Dan now.

A species stands confused on life’s platform.
Naive they think death is not the norm.
Don’t know the dangers which lie ahead.

But there is a train coming for us now.

Thirsty so I drink.
Depressed so I sink.
I am vile is all I think.
I'm stuck broken to the brink.

Thirsty so I drink.

The world is in the midst of such great pain.
Extremism upon the earth has left another ****** stain.


Innocence, how could you attack such innocence?
How could you inflict such evil upon childish bliss?


How did such hatred and cruelty ever arise
Why did such vicious intentions come from looking into an 8 year old girls eyes?


What do we tell our children? What do we tell each other?
What can we say or do for the now childless mother?


Yet Amidst all this tragedy, hatred and scorn,
Raw and simple hope from the city is born.


A people not broken, a people not scattered
But a people together at the time when it most mattered.


So we must together, proudly proclaim to all of those who would **** in a Religion's name.
You. Will. Not. Win
And we who oppose you shall never give in.


So whatever you do and whatever you say
A Victory for you will never see the light of day.
You. Will. Not. Win
