. With such man hands Beneath young faces One can tell That no matter how These royal girls Do not have long Now is their time For whatever physical Beauty they’ll ever have However dressed in Diamonds later on Olga despite her name Brings no fear Tatiana Reigning as she does Is then no more than A summer’s dream Marie who wants So much to be married Is just looking maiden As she is Anastasia is lost Before she knows Enough to know There is an end However wrong . |

Such a tragedy that 4 such young lives were lost so early in their worthy lives. Robert Burns, truly had it right when he referred to “man’s inhumanity to man.” Yet, as incomprehensible as the atrocities are, that humankind perpetrates against itself, equally inspirational is how much genuinely altruistic love of their fellowman, that so many people (so often unsung – and even unknown) put into action, often losing their lives in the process. Enjoyed your poem, John. Owl |
