3 holes. Gaping. Smoldering.
Spewing black link ink in water.
The two highest were on the twins;
The lowest at the underbelly of defense.
Birds of silver driven deep

Into the towers raised high.
Another careening
Through the halls of shields

An act of war. Unimaginable.
The people cried.
Justice must be served
To those who breathe terror.

3 holes. Penetrating. Deadly.
Snuffing lives like drowning in water.
The two highest were brothers;
The lowest defended those forgotten.

Slivers of lead driven deep
Into the brothers leading the nation.
More blasted
Through the one who paralleled Abraham.

An act of ignorance. Disheartening.
The people cried out.
Justice must be served
On those within our borders.

3 holes. Bleeding. Redeeming.
Spreading salvation like bathing in water.
The two highest in the hands;
The lowest in the underbelly laid bare.

Rods of iron driven deep
Into the hands that healed.
A sword of steel
Through the flesh of Man.

An act of love. Undeniable.
The Man of God cried out.
Mercy has been served
To all who follow.
