![]() GatheringA Chapter by Louis McKraker![]() 2007![]() Nothing inspires hope Quit as well as the demise of a hero The doves will fly And the story will be told for miles and miles around
People will gather close at the sight Of his wounds, and how they stained the ground Many of them will choose a side Those who don’t will have a side chosen for them
Some will gather to pray Some will gather to weep Some will have something to say Others will vow to hold their peace
Books will be written, books will be burned And songs will be sang, The waters will rise high above the bridges And towers will fall in the name Of the one who died that day
The flames will arch from the tongues of the ones Who swear that they had seen his face And his death, it will have been in vain And left to rot by the very people who say they uphold his name
The fires will rage And the smoke will be seen For miles and miles around And people will gather close, Bleeding from each others wounds
Many will gather to pray Many will gather to weep Some will play for sport
Others
will play for keep
