They.

It is innapropriate,

  they say,

        to love in a place full of death.

It is in a place full of death,

  they said,

        that we should mourn for those we have lost.

It is in mourning,

  they know,

        that we come together as one.

It is in coming together,

  they see,

        that we all suffer the same – we all bleed the same.

It is in suffering,

  they tell,

        that we face consequences of our sins

              and bleed for what we have done.

We bleed,

     and we suffer,

          and we bleed once more,

               but we do it together,

                    together as one.
