Brave home
you need not stand as you weep ...
lie on the grave of a child now free
of your insanity
and let her jump
in your puddle of tears.
Having long lost our innocence
banner striped in blood
there in our flag, our anthem
Dear Country
Lay down your arms
if your heart be so dark
as to kill a child.

Beautiful, Phil! Thanks for sharing, puddle! I heard her Mom interviewed this morning and all I can say is that her Mom is not only a very strong woman, she is handling this with a grace that I don't think I could muster in that situation.
May her loss be the beginning of a new respect and thoughtfulness in our politics.
That's Jo, not anon btw. my google password isn't working for some reason! xoxoxoxo
Thanks, Jo. If you hadn't come back, I would have assumed it was Monica, lol!
This is just TOO close to home. . .
