Hi, I read this poem, and the other posted ("There-but for the grace...") and was cut through by the vicious imagery, after having expected the usual platitudes about nature. The nature of the poems sort of reflect the News of the day these days: the racial hate, the gun violence, the uncaring so prevalent. The resulting emotions are identical. Nice job.
