My Dead Language

We Must Look Back

We must look back  

In sadness and in anger 

The loss was immense 

Too much for one planet to hold 

The grief is palpable 

We must look back 

In reverence and humility 

At how easily we were brought down 

And let’s face it 

We were brought to our knees 

We must look back 

In tears and frustration 

Because so many sacrificed 

And so many did nothing 

Split – like the 2 roads so famously reached 

The past cannot be breached 

We must look forward 

Even if the lost are leading the damaged 

Together, we must find a way  

Only singularity can lead us astray 

We must make the end begin again 

Only then can we recoup what was lost 

Only the can we find the means to mend
