Applaud the police,
sure, okay, a job
done well, it seems,
in a time quite
turbulent, for sure.
Feel pride in your city,
yes, I get that too.
I still rep mine, strong,
even after I left her.
But, at the risk of being
a kill joy and coming off
anti-something-or-other
I feel as... angry? No,
disappointed... as I did
when "we got Bin Laden."
Death. No, murder,
in any name, is not
cause for celebration.
Somber reflection,
consideration, and
resolve to improve
our human community
That's what, I feel, should be,
in our collective mind... but,
instead, I feel the frenzy of
American relief... something
I can understand, even if I
tend to disagree...
