In the Name of God by Newinkwell Poet Sunday, April 17, 2005 Rated "G" by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan A poem written to protest against the gruesome murder of Graham Steines.
They burnt him, with gasoline, to make sure he died. Now that he is dead, there is no debate…no other side. They burnt him, with gasoline, to clean their finger prints. He is painless, he is deathless he is a part of the soil. Copyright© 2005, All Rights Reserved

Yes, his murder was quite gruesome. Sadly, they took his sons too. I liked the last line, "part of the soil." That is fitting to this piece. I always find it appalling when people are fighting for what they believe, then kill one another to prove a point. Makes no sense to me at all. Well written.
