One Hundred and
Sixty-Eight Seconds |
 |
|
One second for each victim -
On this anniversary -
But a lifetime of sorrow -
For surviving friends and family.
A small tribute to them -
'Midst the sadness and the tears -
Remembering happy times -
Of all those by-gone years.
We have all learned a lesson -
From the people of that city -
To go on and persevere -
But, isn't it a pity?
That we must learn such lessons -
With such a price to pay -
With sadness in heart and mind -
On this observance day.
Just want to send condolences -
To all of those concerned -
And hope those responsible -
Will in Hell, be burned. |
