Another victim
Another story
Another prayer
whispered in the night;
Another child
Another woman
not alive to see the light.

They won’t make headlines,
won’t make the eleven o’clock news;
they’re just names in a growing list,
another number to add,
another report to file,
one more of life’s tragedies;
what were those names again?

I saw that little boy
on the playground yesterday;
I said hello to that woman
as we went our separate ways.

Loose threads in a tapestry;
pull one
the tapestry comes undone.
