A special day, July 14th.
A day of fun and celebration,
fireworks, and a whole day off...
the unity of an entire nation.
... every year without a hitch,
since July 14th, 1970;
however, this year was different.
a tragic end to a day remembering serenity.
They slaughtered innocent people,
ran them down in a white truck;
left them for dead on the road,
In the minds of families, the image is stuck.
What gave you the right to choose this day
to destroy the lives of families?
Why attack this jubilant city of love,
with a vehicle full of grenades and guns?
Now the world mourns yet again;
another loss of many lives.
Twenty sixteen is a year full of death
that will just go into the world's archives.
