Just One Person
By Marc A. Turner - Copyright©2001
I
remember to the second, the time, when I received word
That my friend passed away, but KILLED was what I heard
I wont forget the pain that ripped my heart as I embraced
his wife
All the tears, all the cries
for the loss of just
one life
And
right there were his kids, shocked and so afraid
The cost of just one life
was what their father had
just paid
Brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts
to his house,
they deployed
He was just one person but
so many lives were just
destroyed
I
was so amazed at the number of family and close friends
So many lives
that just one persons life transcends
Each lived through the horror of that never-ending day
Learning of his death, often
exactly the same way
Seeing
all the pain caused by this one loss was really rough
But then reality hit
and thats when it got tough
See my friend was just one victim of the September 11TH
attack
Just one person who went to work and never made it back
The
numbers came in slow at first
then way beyond belief
Over 5000 dead or missing
can one imagine that much
grief?
Theres just one way to understand the measure of these
crimes
See... Just one person died... but he died 5000 times...
