AND SO WE MUST MOURN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IT WAS ANOTHER OF THOSE SUNDAYS

WHERE BEING GAY IS FORBIDDEN ON SUCH DAYS

EVEN WHEN OUR EAGLES DARE TO SOAR

A NATION'S TEARS MUST POUR 

ANOTHER BEAST FLYING SO HIGH

AND DOWN IT CAME TO LIE

CATASTROPHICALLY UNMANNERED 

SPAT OUT FROM THE SKY UNPAMPERED  

 

 

 

 

AN IRON MONSTER

WITH OVER 150 IN A CLUSTER

AT SOME DWELLING PLACE

TURNED INTO A DYING BASE

OF A PEOPLE ON A JOURNEY

A JOURNEY MAPPED WITH A TURNING

NOT MEANT FOR THE LIVING

LEAVING A NATION QUIVERING

EVEN FOR THE UNWELCOMING HOST

REMINDING A PEOPLE OF A PAST GHOST 

NEARLY HUSHING THE BOOM FROM THE NORTH

ANOTHER HORROR OF TERROR COME FORTH

OUR FLAGS ARE WEIGHED DOWN HALFMAST

THREE DAYS OF MOURNING NOT HALFPAST

ADIEUS, O YE DOOMED OF FATE

ALL YE THAT WE MUST REFER TO AS LATE

OH LIKE A TATTERED CLOTH, OUR JOY IS TORN

AND SO WE MUST MOURN
