Professional Mourners

It seems we have become professional mourners, ready to prepare a grand scale funeral on short notice. Our closet is composed mainly of black clothes, and our flag is permanently placed in our car's trunk. We are used to crowds, to processions, to the whining siren of the "death" car and to that unquenchable sadness... All our preparations can not bring them back, it can only serve as a sending off, a tribute to one who will be greatly missed.

Goodbye, goodbye dear man... words are depleted and all i can say, is look out for us, when you're looking from above... and pray, that the country for which you died will live on...
