Two lives were taken overnight,
their bodies left along my transit route.
I was annoyed at the inconvenience,
until I was ashamed of my annoyance.
~~
We are fragile.
We too easily bow to our familial human stain.
We too easily see reality only through our eyes,
setting aside other eyes and other lives.
~~
Two lives taken,
their bodies left for others to find,
a horror left for others to see.
