(for loved ones lost over Tehran) The sound of shovel against snow in a distant Canadian town Same here as there Knee deep in the harsh clarity of stark white, thoughts turn to lost life over Tehran Same here as there. Above us muted Moon veiled in winter's cloak and blind to our divisions, wears a mournful glow Same here as there. Screaming in my ear the sound of a mother’s panicked cries clutching child in those terrifying last moments over Tehran Same here as there. The howl of a father’s anguish oceans away, beloveds lost over Tehran, Rings helpless Same here as there. another in despair, with shaking voice confesses his pain is as big as the sky his son loved to fly Same here as there. the sound of recklessness and twisted minds in high places targeting nations, peoples and someone else's hero Same here as there the sound of innocent blood on ***** hands Same here as there the muzzling, the blame game, the smoke and mirrors Same here as there the agony of he who pulled the trigger Same here as there the tragic moment the mistake was made    Same here as there Despair in light of truth Same here as there the wailing sounds of a nation grieving THE SAME HERE AS THERE. Dedicated to those aboard the tragic flight of Ukranian Airlines 752 -  and to their loved ones January 2020.

(for loved ones lost over Tehran) The sound of shovel against snow in a distant Canadian town Same here as there Knee deep in the harsh clarity of stark white, thoughts turn to lost life over Tehran Same here as there. Above us muted Moon veiled in winter's cloak and blind to our divisions, wears a mournful glow Same here as there. Screaming in my ear the sound of a mother’s panicked cries clutching child in those terrifying last moments over Tehran Same here as there. The howl of a father’s anguish oceans away, beloveds lost over Tehran, Rings helpless Same here as there. another in despair, with shaking voice confesses his pain is as big as the sky his son loved to fly Same here as there. the sound of recklessness and twisted minds in high places targeting nations, peoples and someone else's hero Same here as there the sound of innocent blood on ***** hands Same here as there the muzzling, the blame game, the smoke and mirrors Same here as there the agony of he who pulled the trigger Same here as there the tragic moment the mistake was made    Same here as there Despair in light of truth Same here as there the wailing sounds of a nation grieving THE SAME HERE AS THERE.
