Our Blood

Despite never meeting you,

When you died, I died too.

Because, once upon a time, I was you.

Yet, you will never get to become anything more than a kid in school.

 

You were a raging fire

but rather than burning out, you were smothered.

A beautiful soul in an ugly world.

Where the ugly failed in their duty to protect you.

 

This is an unfair fight for survival you lost.

In your name, this is a war against cheaters we will win.

I will, we will, carry you on our breath and in our hearts.

These battles will be fought in your memory.

 

Nex, even before you've been interned,

They've spat on your grave and disrespected your name.

We've no time to honor your memory

Instead, we must defend your legacy

 

Your blood is caked on their hands.

That we will show the cruel horde.

And our blood is on your hands.

All who have watched this happen across our land and allowed it to go.

    To the ones who walked beside me every day,
    and those who walked away from me.

    To the ones who I left behind,
    and those who left me.

    To the ones who taught me through kindness,
    and those who taught me through cruelty.

    What are monsters
    If not creatures Men fear?
    Because they are the physical reflections 
    Of humanity's worst features?

    What is an abomination
    But the perceived failure of a person's creation?
