Modern Tragedy
February 27, 2011
Give a face to these statistics
so I can weep, for ’tis a tragedy.
Give mouths to those with stories;
Ten thousand dead
no longer breathing, living.
Ten thousand gone
no longer laughing, dreaming.
These numbers lack emotion
give me names, so I can feel.
Give eyes for tears to run from
and cheeks for their escape.
Give a face to these statistics
so I can weep, for ’tis a tragedy.

Secrecy
a burden to bear.
Tragedy
a billion tears.
Loneliness
a reason to cry.
Happiness
a reason to try.
