From everywhere

You took them

One by one

Daughters and sons

They said goodbye

Watched as they cried

They couldn't go back

You took them

For many days

You worshiped them

Hour by hour

Given fake love

Showered with flowers

Made them walk to their death

Glorified their pain

You worshiped them

In seconds

You killed them

Minute by minute

Watched with thrill

Made it a game

Do you remember their names?

They died for the fame

You killed them

In the end

You have one

Second by second

They stagger on

What they did was wrong

But they did it for fame

The world remembered their name

You have one

But still

You continue

Every year

Filled with fake cheer

You continue…..
