Fallen From Grace

by

As the dusks settles from above

The light shines through

Yet there is no light below

Broken spirits is all that are left

Crushed, not by the hand of fate

But by the hand of ignorance.

Lives taken before their time

Not men,

Nor women,

But humans

Whose only crimes were that they lived differently.

With their leaving,They left a nation in shambles

Confused, bruised, and battered.

We have known pain and have been hurt,

But never so deep or so thoroughly.

We have anger for people we do not know.

Some are so blinded by it,

They hurt others who are in pain themselves

There are no victims now.

Only survivors.

There will be a time when this will only be a distant memory

A page in a book, a footnote in time

And I fear for the future when they do not learn from the past

I fear ignorance and hate cannot end

Until we realize that though we are different on the outside

We are all the same within.
