Killer of little children, master of the drones
lamenting the death of a child in a bomb attack,
speaking about justice
and either he believes it
or he's a great actor,
and when he goes back to his oval office
another list of proposed people to be murdered
to go through,
to choose who might be left out,
who to be killed with collateral damage,
lines of dead bodies,
children, women, old people
in pictures of some Reuters photographer
getting little attention
when Boston gets so much.
This is the world, this is the morality
that makes people
build bombs and let them explode
in public places among crowds,
killing eight-year olds watching their father run;
the rank hypocrisy, the long lines of the dead,
the indifference towards the lives
and suffering of others.
For injustice is a seed from which
violence grows, acts
of evil begetting evil.
