Ashes In An Urn

ashes in an urn
a lovely new urn

whose ashes are they
who was burned that day

what races
what religions
what sexes
what nationalities

maybe they’re all mixed in 
ashes indistinguishable and
undiscriminating in one 
could there be hope

A thought provoking question in the last line, Rudolph- your poem makes perfect sense. Fave.
