204.365 - Leon Felipe

Leon Felipe chose one child’s death and decapitation
on which to make a stand:  no one shall leave until justice
no one shall leave
no one shall leave until justice
you and I have such a plethora of children, of youth
of men and women we hardly can find outrage again
every day another innocent is killed - no one proved him guilty
or her
every day another
we think by now that’s just the way the world is
armed men kill unarmed men women boys girls
armed men in uniforms kill and kill and kill
they beat and beat and beat
and we argue about who has the right to order cake
and wonder whether we’ll bother to vote
Leon Felipe, send us another you!
