Today, I weep.

Today, I weep.
My heart bleeds,
for the mother whose child has been snatched,
by death's cruel hands.

For the mother,
who will never see her little angel's smile again.....

For all those great women to be.......
whose flames were so brutally extinguished
before they had a chance to shine......

I weep for a nation,
robbed of a future generation.

Today, I weep,
for every life lost in the Budo junior school fire,
May their souls rest in eternal peace.
