Write For Harambe Because He Can't
msecnd.net

Oh, Harambe. You left this Earth too soon. Everyone was so upset when they heard what happened to you. The mom, the child, and the police; it was all too much for you! It's just not fair what happened, and so it only makes sense that we let that mom never forget what she did to you through memes and songs.

Harambe, we will never know if what they did to you was truly right or wrong, but do know that your life will definitely not be forgotten anytime soon. Know that the world seemed outraged by what happened to you, and that you were the one punished for what many individuals are calling the mother's, "lack of attention to her child".

It may be insensitive to the mother because it was traumatic for both her and her child, but a life was lost. I'm sure it was not the mother's intention to have her child fall into the enclosure and kill Harambe, but it is still something that was truly a nightmare. Hopefully, we can learn from this whole experience, and put more safety measures on enclosures as well as hoping that parents will hold themselves more accountable and hopefully keep a closer look at their children.

But really, Harambe. You shouldn't be gone. WHY HAVE YOU LEFT US? My roommates and I talk about you every single day, about how your life MATTERS, and how much we wish you were still here with us. Without you, a piece of us is missing.

We will never forget you, Harambe. You were truly special, and we can only hope that you are forever free from your enclosure. We will always have you this lovely song, though.


R.I.P. Harambe.

We miss you.

come back to us.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.
