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
