mourn death
celebrate with millions
of lives
loved in hands
freed by arms
content to live
life or not
celebrate death
loads of arms
blessed to free
spirits of
wives
husbands
brothers
no daughters no
words while
wrapped in arms of
petty
fury and hate
brought US
here
to free
age from love
our neighbors from
choice
to hear
what is done
here
free fists
and arms
reconcile
choice for
daughters given
names freed and forced
to share
THE CHOICES
made in
past
choices to
free men to
care not to
arm and
harm
petty daughter's
thoughts
of past and
future wants
to be had
by arms of
choice
granted
solidarity
fidelity
piety and
rewards
to arms meant to
free
love and
hope in
places where
we mourn
for loss
regret harm
celebrate life
