Couldn't make it

Your chubby body
lay there quietly
I just don't get it
What has adult's turmoil
had to do with your innocence?
The dark power crept around the campus
clandestine destruction
came along with
clamorous howl and mourning
We burried you
and lit a candle for you
at the age of two
Though you coudn't make it
to the last,
We'll have you there
in our mind, in every reminiscence
and in every prayer
wishing for world peace
