It is
stored in the soul
of a people
and hungers
to be relevant
to more than the
sycophants of
golden calves
there was
a time when we
thought it good
to strike out
in anger and fear
and the hubris
of the tears
of tragic death
It has
scarred us as
a nation and the
wound has turned
in on itself on
ourselves and we pick
at the scab of the
the children laying dead
There will
come a reckoning
our histories scream
our mutual doom
History is not a script
it is a cautionary tale
which doesn't end well
for the protagonists
