a girl dons a prom dress
as red as all the blood spilled.
She stands defiant, an awe-inspiring sight,
a beaming light in a cruel world
just a few moments on a television screen,
beauty and hope amongst the obscene.
They've broken all the buildings
including the school as well
but one thing they haven't destroyed
is the indomitable human spirit.
An aura of love shines from the girl,
just a few moments on a television screen,
beauty and hope...amongst the obscene.
