They Realized
           It was not over...

Then they asked themselves
how did this happen?
how did children become estranged
daughters mothers sons fathers
why did we fight?

some said
it was the immorality of the age
President’s corrupted
Senators bought
Congress impotent
Judges partial

how did this happen?

thank god for the children
may they live to inherit
thank god grandchildren grow quickly
