At first, it would seem,
A list of travel destinations,
When really, it is just,
A reminder of our dereliction.
How a day, could begin,
With the hope of a new dawn,
And end, so suddenly,
A gory city torn.
This cause of yours,
Not at all worth a war -
When this travesty of religion
Is the tragedy of a nation.
How long before this red curtain call,
Before we extinguish these scorching flames,
Before we see that it's how we're all different,
That makes us all the same.
