Memorial Day
Caustic hollow,
Man’s inhumanity to man.
I didn’t drop the ball,
I wasn’t even born.
Excuse enough to turn away? And then get on through,
My own dark, locked down day.
Another decade, another, pointless carnage.
No blame, but still the political shame
Of those born to the means,
Choosing a lack of care Disguised as innocent unaware.
