Let us review the days events.
Today some lives got blown away.
Why? the answer is in the act.
So many dreams were lost that day.
Many soldiers know the score.
The only difference is, what we deplore.
Hate rears its head and kills the dreamers.
They were like you or me, just dressed in blue.
It is their loved ones who now march alone.
Carrying an unseen wound of loss.
Let peace be theirs at the end of day.
Easy to say when the loss isn't yours.
Of all the people that died that day, for many reasons, some heroic, but most not. Those five, like so many others, died because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time. The good news is, based on the facts, three times more officers lost their lives in 1975 than last year. I call that progress, not a deteriorating society.
