A Flash of the Lightning: A Tribute to Barry Allen

I run through a frozen world, none can match my speed

Time slows down and cannot ever catch up

A red blur races through your normal world

In a never ending race for justice and peace

Like a crack of a whip, a flash of the lightning

I run through the ticks of a second no time wasted

Light-years become miles and miles become feet

Wind resists but it leaves no challenge

Faster! Faster! I must push on!

My family reaches out for me from the beyond

I must not stop, can't quit now!

To give the world a fighting chance

Finally, here it comes, the ultimate rush!

The pain comes but then it's gone, too slow to keep up

The deed is done, the race has ended

My shell and my ring is all that remains

Through I am gone, my memory survives

The next generation takes up arms

And in one voice, their cry is clear

"From this day forth, The Flash lives again!"
