VT Will Prevail!May 24 '07 (Updated May 26 '07) Write an essay on this topic.The Bottom Line Tragedy will come in most ideal places. The VT poet Tells the world We will prevail Virginia Tech will prevail! Will the poet's lyrics and rhythm Turn the evil wind Back and banish The sounds and sights Of the darkest depths Of the darkest abyss of hell Permeating and usurping The idealist Academia ? Will the poet's magic wand And mighty power of words ( " The pen is mightier than the sword " ) Erase the surreal scenes Of officers scurrying Nowhere and too late Or deaden the sounds of Glock missiles of death Snuffing the lives And dreams of the 32 Or 33? Akin to a scythe from hell Cutting thru a field of poppies Or devouring flames over Ripe and golden harvest. Nevertheless Virginia Tech will prevail Arresting the engulfing darkness The inky night breaking To a glorious dawn of Tens of thousands candlelights And millions more tongues Of fires of resolves and courage Refusing to succumb to Helplessness and falterings And sins of omissions Of powers- that - be Of corporate lucre and apathy Of greedy merchants of death Of security assumptions and breaches That turned deadly ( The good hunter of the wild who wounds the escaping tiger will not rest until he shoots and finds the wounded tiger dead .) And VT will erase from memory What " that idiot " ( Said the grand aunt from the Land far far away. ) had done who wielded Cain's hands of death And will see the dawnings of Of millions of brighter mornings Of hope and triumphs of courage and determinations Forgetting what happened in that Fateful and dark day in 2007.  |
