Remembrance
reduced to ashes
by blazing winds of violence.

Clouded Issue of justice
dissipates, raining down
thunder and lightening
in its stead;
stealing the dignity and effectiveness
stuck in the birth canal
of peaceful demonstrations.

Rioters
hiding behind the banner of justice-
imitating terrorists
who use religion as their shield
to achieve their own agenda.

Sympathy and empathy
going up in the smoke
of civil disobedience,
the victim robbed again.

Pockets emptied of meaning
everybody loses.
