Crrrrack goes the glass as it smashes to the floor tossed so carelessly that we shouldn’t even be disturbed
Bang goes the gun as it fires without warning with a puff and a flash as the person across
falls
Murmur go the men as they decide what to do and their council can do “justice” but can’t stop the widow’s tears
Shuffle go the feet at the victim’s funeral with the eulogies and cries and the camera recording
Tragedy they say on the news in the town as the funeral goes viral, example to us all
Of just why this legislation should be passed,
says the stern politician
who means well
but
Nothing makes a sound at the local cemetery ’cause the man’s already dead—you’re too late, bud.
