Notes About The Poem

we had it all

We took it for granted
life as we knew it
our freedom our future
the concept of fairness
karma and justice

And then it was stripped
in one quick painful motion
flayed off like a bandaid
before our very eyes
revealing the ugly truth
of the worst of mankind

Now all we can do is
pray for a mighty Hail Mary ~
