like hammer to a nail
life has screwed you
and in an instant
pain has shot right thru you
innocence is you
and in another 30 days
the world forgets you
and who will speak on your behalf?
for you, now
are nothing more than a number
and I dont know which one
you have become
but I know that before 7:15 this morning
you had a name
and sorry to say
this is how you earn your fame
you have finally made
every hour of the news
and nothing can take
the credit you are due
i name you a fallen soldier
dying in a war that has no end
losing a battle
that has no winner
fighting for something
that you didn’t even know
you volunteered for
and just like you bled
my heart bleeds
my soul cries out
and my only prayer is that
you would hear me from where you sit
you are a hero
and the one’s that you leave behind
continue your legacy
like lightning to the ground
death has struck you
and like sunny days in june
memories become you
some day in April
tears fall from those who loved you
[dedicated to the many that have lost their lives at Virginia Tech... may your souls rest in peace... and to the students, friends, and family members that mourn... may your souls be strengthened during this hard time]
