| mommy, mommy, a dead man! (RC) His past attacked
Like a vulture to carcus
The pain drains through eyes of red
For a child and her mother
Aren't watching,
But attacking
A blurry silhouette
Is enough to open the door
Of a tragic past
"mommy, mommy, I see a dead man!"
But he is no dead man
He is very much alive
In a corner
In his own world
Of tragedy and sorrow
__________________ And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men."
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
“God is not dead, nor does He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail
With peace on earth, good will to men.”
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Reason: wrong wording on tragedy, it was tragic
