Spring will never come again
No April without pain
Each April the Emancipator’s
Slain

Mothers, will there ever
Be a Sunday in December
When we will not
Remember

November never passes
Until I shed a tear
Year after Year after Year

And never in September
Will I look into the sky
Without asking the question
Why Why Why Why
