Never Forget

Standing atop a cliff,
Light shining bright,
Tears escape the eyes of all-
All except for your's.
You show no signs of fear or pain,
Is this merely all a game?
We wish and dream to be like you,
Strong and tough in the eyes of death,
But we all know that is impossible.
Shadows are cast across the ground,
An ominous sign, indeed,
Yet you remain calm,
Although demise is certain.
A smile spreads on your lips,
A strange but calming sight.
The man stepped towards you,
Waving his hand,
Telling you it's time,
Pushing you from the edge.
As you plummet to the river, raging below,
We hear your cries,
Your final sounds.
You scream,
"For freedom! For liberty! For death!
For all in the world, you shall never forget!"

Forget, we have not.
