The murder of a stranger
Out early this morning
Unable to listen to much more of the news
On the radio
Played Bach Sonatas instead
This place is not worse
Following you’re going or the way you left
It may be better
I have my doubts about it
Time will tell is the saying
But it’s the hate just below the surface
That bothers me most
The lack of compassion
I think of those two small children
And the man you loved abandoned and lost
I wish them kindness
For the present the future as well.
