A BLACK DAY

The day, it seemed quite normal
How quickly it can turn
A day of unkept promises
Remembrance can burn

A sacrifice for freedom
Always asking why?
Long will your precious memory dance
Beneath a burning sky

Wind will carry voices
Will build and fan the flames
Forever onward, upward
The sound of unknown names

Many faces mingle
Combine and seem as one
The world has watched in horror
As the smoke blocked out your sun

A gauze your face shall cover
Conceal thy gentle soul
All now know your story
But leave your thoughts untold

No God shall block your way now
A spirit you shall flee
The end will greet us all sometime
But why you, now, why not me?
