Twenty -six

Just twenty-six
Too young

Too young to die
But who draws the line?

Guy Fawkes-
The night explodes,
Illuminating
The black night sky
Filled with light

I hope God exists
I hope, I pray

His existence
Will prove you’re safe
Your safety
Will provide reassurance

In love, in fear

Love for everyone,
No fear for death
Bravery
So strong
Unlikely to witness
Bravery so strong
Again

Why the sad faces?
Crack a smile, a joke
Death can’t win

It won
You’re gone

In hate, in tears

Hate for God,
Hate for why you’ve gone
Tears shed
From every person
Everyone mourning you

If you’re there,
Anywhere

Sit down next to me
