Heros

Heros

A Poem by Dara
"

A tribute to two American heros, Aretha Franklin and John McCain, who both lost their battle with cancer just a week apart.

"

In a world full of chaos,
a nation under siege
there once lived a Queen of Soul
and a Warrior who believed
that this country, we all call home,
though fraught with imperfection,
still held the key to universal peace
amid trials and tribulation.
May we keep their memories alive forever
  as we hold our heads up high
and continue fighting for
what they believed in
no matter what
the price.

This music video with Aretha and George Michael is a classic in my book. May he rest in peace also.
