Enough already
Why write about it?
Too many poems, too many stories
Words can’t resurrect
Cancel the memorial
It happened, we all know that
Standing tall for us to feel low
Cement doesn’t revive
Live coverage of a dead past
All the channels, every stream
Pressing a button won’t stop the names
The show brings us nothing
Wastes of time, move on
Breathing is for the living
Reminders are hurtful
Exit this darkness already
Why is this necessary?
Millions of prayers
Endless tears
Because…. it’s not enough today
They must never stop
Write your pain
Construct the memory
Repeat the footage
They didn’t have sufficient warning
No time to prepare
Minimal goodbyes
There wasn’t enough life for them
There must never be enough of us remembering this about them all
