United We Fall


The bodies are piling up 

again 

as past becomes present

again.

A different time,

a different place,

different victims

and survivors


united

by innocence,

by grief

by failure,

failure 

to protect

failure

to police


united

by the failure

of lawmakers,

of elected 

and electors.

Failure.

Failure.

Failure.


So we cry out,

we victims who survived

you failed us

failed us

failed us.


Even the dead whisper an echo

but only the deaf will hear.
