ruined

you broke my fall
and he's done it again
and now i've lost
another friend
to the cold
in the snow
while the police sirens
wail and make
my ears hurt more.

[despite recent calamities,
we'd like to continue with the
school-wide events
as scheduled.]

you spread stains
that show your pain
it seems that
you died in vain,
as the
eighteen-wheeler
didn't even stop
to see you fall.

[despite the tragedy,
the celebration will continue
as planned.]

oh, opposition.
well at least we're even now.
