Victory

I cannot define victory

So many cheer

I know this is evil

but I still shed a tear

For innocence lost

for families in pain

for those that went out the door

and will never come home again

For a mother's loss

not through death 

a child going down the wrong path

giving it their very last breath.

Victory makes me wonder

will we ever be safe and secure

Now that our world has changed

Normal is now nevermore

But I stand with the people

straight, tall and proud.

I'll cheer with them

Our voices united and proud.
