Innocence Dies

Tenth

floor

She glided

Down, not up,

Until she landed

Onto a mortuary slab,

It had shamed her.

It had shamed her life,

Yet those that tormented her

inwardly laughed at her demise.

Can they ever justify their hatred?

Can we justify our hatred for them?

They are trolls offering shitposting

losing control of their decency

Is our hatred considered?

Is our hatred right?

No, it’s not,

We are

Wrong,

Lay a single flower to commemorate her life

Weep and wail respectfully for her memory

In loathing, weep for them

And in silence, weep for ourselves

As innocence dies,
