The Focus of Our Rage – v2

The requited anger

the focus of our rage

bin Laden gone,

buried in the ocean

in a watery grave

A hollow feeling

across the radio dial

person after person

speaking, wailing, railing

more on the hurting

the wounds reopened

No healing, no true resolution,

by the death of the focus

a world’s rage unrequited

by the death of terror

in the streets near Islamabad
