how shameful it is
to celebrate a killing
piling injustice upon
tragedy borne of injustice
what good is the
death of a man?
how many thousands of
lives did it take to kill one?
such madness
to kill is no way
to end a war
it continues
it will continue
for there will always
be brothers and mothers
and fathers and sons and
daughters and friends and
neighbors and those
who remember
what child would
thank us
for this legacy
of bloodlust?
