Good People: in hon of John

You did your part

Without envy to the share of your neighbor

You always transcended

That’s why we took it for granted

But now we know

It’s why we believe.

It was not all about you

But it was for all of us

What we saw were your steel structures

They signaled immortality

But now we know

It’s why we believe.

We tended to forget

The passion

That made it possible

Your sense of duty

But now we know

It’s why we believe.

Where we had lost hope

You gladly provided insight

Though we doubted

The power within

But now we know

It’s why we believe.

You showed us the value of humility

Even when the adversary poked our noses

We should have known

It was all about us

But now we know

It’s why we believe.

To fulfill Justice for humanity

When you said it

We couldn’t appreciate

What we should have

But now we know

It’s why we believe.

We knew you will keep it

You did it time and again

Until we were convinced

We should have known: That we can

But now we know

It’s why we believe.
