Cheers to the hero
Cheers to the hero
clink clink
go the glasses
vibrating a radiance
equal to that of the vocal cords
that ring out his name.
Cheers to the hero
click click
goes the gun
that offered him solace
in the place the Holy book
calls home.
Cheers to the hero
Fallen to earth
in pain but in reverie
to be spoken of
and remembered for
that which was done
in sacrifice for the multitude.
Cheers to the hero
Rest in Peace Riley Howell who died protecting others from the gunman at UNC-Charlotte.
