Revisiting a poem from 2020. The list of names, already too long, continues to grow. No title this time.

His child, spouse,
sibling, parent-
Helpless, watching
as he lies on the ground

Terrified, he struggles
begging for breath-
A knee pressed
down on his neck

Calling out 
Mama!
His cries for mercy
ignored-then silenced

A family left 
grieving- 
Another name
added to a list

Life, liberty, and
the pursuit
of happiness
denied, destroyed 

A weeping world
refuses to look away
A weeping world
will not be silenced

“For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.””
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭5‬:‭14‬ ‭
