Forever

Forever
~Lucretius of Modern

One word, one thought,
Forever in time.
What has life bought?
Lost in our prime.

Surprised, fearful, weren't we all?
Reflect in time, why was it us?
Why did those two towers have to fall?
Pain and tears given as thus.

We shall move on, we shall renew
But what of the heroes we have lost?
Will their memories be subdued?
Will that be our greatest cost?

No, they have not died in vain,
Sacrifice, such an endeavor.
Immortality they shall obtain,
As long as we remember, forever.

Forever.
