a mystery

a mystery 

Dumb. criminal and vulgar
Also courageous, we ask ourselves
Why did we find him heroic
when nearly shot
Almost killed by a young man
We are told nothing about
Political killings happen too often 
Perhaps re-selection is
That brings us to another murder
that of Charlie Kirk
Something does not add up
The young man accused of the killing
perhaps did not
Those investigating the murder
are confused
Is there another killer on the loose
If so, we are not informed 
We can speculate 
Once he was an Israeli asset, until
He woke up asking questions
The answers he got  were discouraging
They had told him he was property
and do as told
His angry protest got him killed
a female name props up
A moment of glory in the spotlight
Did she know Charles was
doomed
