when effigies on earth were burned
when marble was shattered instead
of human beings but with the same intent
must the dead die again the dead who chose the wrong path
so young in their confusion fated to die this way
when all they wanted was to go home but you but you
in a contemporary mood have an opportunity to judge them
why must you why must you wound them again
who did not know what they were doing
though those who sent them did.
i wanted to ask the gathering crowds
jubilant in their destruction
but the angels led me away
the angels led me away
far from the scene.
