I lost my wife
She lost her life

Until then
the luxury
of no responsibility

Chopper wouldn't
fall that night
as, clenched inside a glove

You can hear the hum.
Billions of them

What have we learned?

CHANGE COMES SLOWLY
But it is
CHANGING!!!

KEEP PUSHING

KEEP THE FAITH
         AND PRAY
THAT WE HAVE BETTER NEWS TO REPORT
