every negative situation
has the power
to become a positive force
for cultural shift
lives are lost
but lives will be saved
in the future
from what we learn
life’s path
takes a different turn
our day to day changes
becoming a new reality
gleening a possibility
of hope in this evil’s demise
in the following days
it begins during these troubled times

That’s very true, it’s important that we learn from catastrophies so we can at least be prepared to fight the next one.
Yes, exactly! I hope that we can learn from all this!
