Tragedy
zephyr
[dadames@batelnet.bs]
Everyone knows of it
everyday we hear a bit
Tragedy is a living sadness
surviving in a world of absolute madness
Breeding heartaches and pain
for crying peoples of every name
Time will heal the open wounds
but again tragedy strikes homes
Hurting hearts cry out
as tragedy moves continuously about
Still life onward proceeds
as tragedy sows its painful deeds
Things could have been worse
considering the tragic burst
Thank God for life
in the mist of tragedy's strife
