the same pond
Yesterday, sirens filled this site,
Yesterday, sirens filled this site,
Yesterday, sirens filled this site,
today, noiselessness. Yesterday, there were tears,
today, the fountain sprinkles. Yesterday, an ambulance, fire-engine and a police car parked on the street,
today, a BMW, Volkswagen and a Landrover. Yesterday, people were supporting each other,
today, people are again self-absorbed. Yesterday, this was a horrific place,
today, it’s deceivingly peaceful. Yesterday, the sun shone,
today, the sun shines. Yesterday a child lay lifeless in this pond. Today, flowers exaggeratedly blossom,
did they yesterday? Today, I walk by the church next to the pond,
God, where were you yesterday? Today, duckweed is covering the pond,
yesterday it resembled a field of grass. Today, lives are changed forever,
what was yesterday like? Today this pond will never again be,
what is was yesterday.
