Milquetoast - Five Dead in Nightclub Shooting
Five Dead in Nightclub Shooting

spades of earth
continue to drop
onto my prone person
weighting me to the floor
of my brother's grave,
mourning, I struggle
and rise above the filth
of evil's dismissal
of humanity
In all of its diversity,
confused and wondering
why? what is my part?
different doesn't deserve death
                   ~~Judi Van Gorder

Inspired by "DISCUSSION: Milquetoast"  Open in new Window.
