Alexei #Navalny- v2 #funeral

Reading His widow’s words, beautiful,
painful, on the day of His funeral, no closure,
breathing love, yet loved ones unable,
to be there, to grieve, with one another,
by the wrath of the dictator, his fear…
 
Common people chanting, shouting, defiant,
speaking aloud his crimes, His name.
Navalny's name has been engraved
on the hearts of man, humanity,
chiseled into history, for all time...
 
Now, a day later, nothing has changed,
but everything has changed, a people,
still streaming to his grave, to honor Him,
martyr for a Free Russia, a hope they share,
Knowing the mantle has come to them,
each woman, each man...
