What happened to us?
And when did it happen?
How did we transform a day dedicated to peace
to a testimonial to the ways
of the warrior?

What made us think this was a better subject
for celebration?
When did those ideals change?
Why have we updated our beliefs
and in such a mean manner?

Why would we think the killer
is more important
than not killing?

And more important:
What in Ares’ name
would make anyone think
This was good day
to shut the doors
of my favorite froyo shop?

This kind of thing
makes me want to beat someone senseless…
