It'll happen

It’ll happen

I know it will
Its in my heart, its wedged between the orifices of my soul
Like it always has been

It’ll happen

The tears, the laughter, the fight and the love
Will in the end give way
Like it always has

It’ll happen

The success, the fighters, the struggle and the sacrifice
Will soon be forgotten
Like we always do

Here is something I came across whilst travelling through Germany. Although it is not entirely related to the above poem, I feel it is in keeping with the theme of your blog - something that makes you stop and think.

"First they came…" by Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left
to speak up for me.
