When the news came,

Something inside me shattered

And the reverberations rattled my head.


When the news came,

It felt to me the world should stop spinning

And all the blue people felt dread.


When the news came,

All the people I knew

Packed up and moved far away.


When the news came,

All the people laughed at

Felt they were no longer welcome to stay.


When the news came,

All the reds who ignore rights

And aired their heads of all the lies that laid dormant.


When the news came,

Somehow the world felt different yet the same

I wish all days were like this and the news's repercussions shortened.


When the news came,

The cities went in solemn silence

Seeking the smallest of kindness.


When the news came,

All of us affected felt the same.
