Spaceship of Mourning
by
Jude Eydmann
My thoughts have been swallowed by heartache
That in turn broke my faith in mankind.
Could they do that to one of my brothers
Whilst leaving compassion behind?
Please spare me the details of horror,
Hide images far from my sight
And speak not of the vengeance of blackness
Or I’ll cry as I sit here all night.
A bright star flashed right past my window
A sign that we have second birth?
No, it’s the spaceship of mourning
Humanity leaving the earth
