The world is dark across the pond-
For the ashes guard the day.
But thier brave souls do not abscond-
When fire obscures the way.
Tonight we are not many-
For our sorrows have made us one.
We will reach out for weight to carry-
From all hearts beneath the sun.
Carry not your burdens small-
discard thine bannered sash.
For tonight we heed our truest call-
and fan away the ash.

Stay strong Paris.
Stay strong, Beirut.
Stay strong, Baghdad.
Stay strong, Japan.
Stay strong, Mexico.
We’re all in your corner. ❤
