dark (k)night

07.29.12

a hero is born

always in the face

of humanity's darkness

 

who was the hero tonight?

was it the man

who crawled across a row of seats

to shield a child with his body

or is it the dozens

who lost their lives in sacrifice

or is the hero

in the end

the one who won what he came to win

 

the chaos of a knight

a place in infamy untouchable

a name without a person's face

who made us lose as much as he had to gain

before successfully vanishing into the dark
