For the contest

Who knows what happens

In the darkness of the shadows

What can we do to prevent

The unforgiving dreams

 

We walk along in silence

As the shadowed rain falls

A man approaches swiftly

As our protections cascade down

 

And all along I felt

As tender as a crystal

Ready to be shattered

 

Blood pools on the ground

In the billowing silence

The sirens are not present

As a river wipes it away

 

The sadness that is not felt

Through the hearts across the nation

When they hear the faint announcement

Of the inconsequential death

 

And all along I felt

As tender as a crystal

Ready to be shattered
