Wrong

You provided life…

You gave everything…

You had no equal adversary…

You were a young warrior in the midst of flourishing…

You were clean and beautiful, nourishing…

You gave everything you had without ambition, without care…

You gave us many warnings, but we chose not to become aware…

Aware that we were causing destruction…

That our actions would cause a bad reaction...

That one by one we had become assassins…

Assassins of our nature, of our path, of your way…

And for this we must now pay…

We must pay for making you grotesque…

We must pay with all this mess…

We must reconstruct for we are stuck…

Stuck in unhappiness…

Stuck in a city without blue skies…

A city without answers only why’s…

Why were we so ignorant to your warnings, your yearnings…

It is now that we finally realize after so long…

That you were right and we were wrong…
