Ruminating

They were a valuable essence,

But are no longer available.

Isn't it lamenting our hearts?

They lost themselves for us

But didn't they deserve better?

The sacred sacrifice, undying love 

Behind the core exterior must lie.

Those unshackled souls stood strong 

Not as a pillar of justice and truth I say.

But as the miracle we sought to God.

Did we forget about their desolate echoes

They cried for despair when they saw us break?

They stood strong for our sakes 

Just to see our veil of grief

In the melancholy of abandoned hope?

The more I try to ruminate,

Deflates me time and time again.

We were too self-obsessed I guess 

Not to think about those brave families instead.

Maybe if the unity was shown a bit early,

May then they have one last proper meal in unison.

I am left at awe whenever I meditate,

Those spirits in heartaches embrace 

Did so much to not have been with us.

Maybe they really were the Almighty themselves;

As for them, their selfless acts meant none.
