Homicide
Murder – entertainment?
I think not – at least for those of us
Whose lives are touched by such atrocity.Murder – and comprehension?
Away beyond,
For when it sweeps in upon us
With its cruel reality
We have no base
From which to judge
Or weigh
Enormity.Murder – death of others?
No – a part, just part of ‘we’ –
For left to live
Is emptiness
Where kinship
Used to be.Murder – just random?
No – not really –
For we're linked
With bonds of life
Which ebb and flow
Together in
Entwined
Complexity.Murder – tell kids?
What words can capture this,
Yet frame it such
That life will then proceed
As if it never happened
To our kin?Murder – close? I think not –
Lest tsunami sweep
Us down –
We push away –
We do not want to know
Its ugly truth –
Perhaps some error
In the news
And yet –
I fear not...navigation
