Easter bunnies
and little lambs
compliment this Holy Day,
but this morning, headlines,
"Hundreds Dead
or Injured in Sri Lanka"
mocked it.
Toppled Easter Lilies,
flowers crushed,
a broken statue of Our Lady,
littered sanctuary,
earlier, a priest
lay bloodied and unconscious
while in the wooden pews
worshipers
found mangled and lifeless.
A bomb blast
ravaged Easter service.
The sense of it
makes no sense,
targets of hate,
religious zeal,
or political upheaval,
none of it good enough
for the death
of one lamb.
