For Whom Shall I Weep?
For whom shall I weep?
Seven souls who knew the way
Did not make it home one day
Listen to the talking heads cry out
For the world to mourn and shout
They knew the risk and knew the way
But did not make it home one day
For whom shall I weep?
Seven thousand snatched away
To Mengela’s open jaws today
Listen for the news to seep
Not a whimper, not a peep
For whom shall I weep today?
Seven thousand snatched away
For whom shall I weep?
Seven thousand fall to sleep
For whom shall I weep?
For whom shall I weep?
For whom shall I weep?

It's not just the babies. It's also the mothers who are victims.
Still, it is a tragedy, and as my anger swirls around the hypocrisy of the media, my thoughts and prayers are also for the families of the astronauts.
