Useless ... Unless ... or Regretful After the Fact
mankind does reprehensible things amidst all our wonderful works hide far too many unspeakably evil uncovered and brought to light too late for the aid of any victim
yet our memorials are enacted our communal sympathies voiced again, and again, and again
too late …
of what worth our after the fact voices if our words are not a call to action
of what worth our after the fact weeping if our tears do not wash away this evil
of what worth our after the fact anger if our hands continue to stand idle
useless …
we cannot bring back those who've fallen our remembrances of them do nothing more than soothe our stricken consciences
unless …
unless our words are not mere discordance unless our tears are not mere token rivers unless our wrath is not mere futile venting
unless we have done more than weep we have but painted whitewashed tombs on the foundations of ancestral failures
