A Quatrain to Deliverance

A QUATRAIN TO DELIVERANCE

Without justice,

we daily bury our children and the crimes

that killed them.

Then we go about

the daily challenges of survival under skies

of the sham of liberties.

However, today and all our tomorrows

we shall dedicate ourselves

to the protection of the kindling of our realm.

The fires of faith, hope, redemption and restitution

shall forever burn

and criminal injustice will never be laid to rest

like fallen leaves.
