We watched a documentary on the 1972 Olympics in History of the 20th Century today. I didnt even know that something had happened. We discussed this history of extremist terrorism. But just watching the video footage just left me feeling depressed. And when Im depressed, I write poetry. Theres a girl with sorry eyes She cried herself to sleep that night broken heart shattered dreams lifes not so cheery as it seems All the world, gathered near it was the day to shout and cheer But believe me, the skies are clouded here no one sings the victory song and flags are low, the death toll... so long Were thankful now, the hour past Merely long ago Lets paint the games a shade of blue A memory of tragic times nineteen hundred and seventy-two There is a woman, old and grey She is all alone today Emily Bergstrom Nov. 17, 2014
