Her name was Grace
her grip was firm
Our confirmed position
was high in the heavens
We watched the developing
patchwork of human invention
Breathed the fumes
of your so called progress
I was sacrificial
a warning to you all
Every broken security camera
failed to capture my fall
Without angelic wing
or nylon of parachute
My race towards the ground
swiftly challenged time
The ensuing thump
shook the very roots of mankind
Bruised the unhealthy skin
worn by humanity
Read the symbolic scripture
decode the lost logogram
Note the subtle bends
through the heat of etymology
Let my fall
not be in vain
Let my fall
become a call for change
