Where Better?
June 5, 2014
And just like that, it was all gone:
Permanence… Stability… Everything.
It was once proud and safe;
A beacon of hope and strength.
On the ocean floor, our shelter
Claims its final resting place.
It was us, once. It was beautiful
And safe. It was together; it was whole.
But sails were splintered by gunfire.
Beauty was swallowed by embers.
So tell me:
Where better could one take refuge?
