Still
By: Keely
Age: 13

Though countless acts of violence,
happen every day, every hour,
Still the sun shines,
Still the moon glows,
Still the water gurgles,
Still the stars shine,
Still life must go on.
Though we want time to stop,
To gather our wits,
Still time moves on,
Though people hear of it,
They moan with compassion,
Then forget,
Still,
Still,
Still,
Still,
Nothing will hold still,
Time, life, stillness itself will not hold still,
Still we must walk on.
