For Ron


They strung him up for being sick.
One took a club and smashed his head.

The rest joined in
ripped limb from limb.

His family watched
now destitute

from paying bills
and bankruptcy.

I’d like to help
but feel afraid.

The crowd yells DIE
I whisper LIVE.

Moderator: But congressman, are you saying that society should just let him die?
(Tea Party crowd screams YES!)

  1. I had something to say. And then I read that I have found your way inside your head and that there is no way out. I don't think well when I panic. :-D

  2. Damn. I meant MY way. But you seem smart and must have got that already. ;-)

  3. Why panic? It's quite airy with large leaps betwixt logic, which makes for good cardio ;)

You've found your way inside my head and now there's no way out!
