The sign was a plea for social justice <br />Hit and run death had taken him <br />Father, son, husband, uncle - <br />It depended on how you entered the tragedy. <br /> <br />Then it was gone <br />Then it was back <br />Now it appears no more <br />While green grass grows <br />Beside black asphalt. <br /> <br />Some force unseen <br />Could not tolerate the protest <br />With its silent cry <br />While Jesus sheds a tear in heaven. <br /> <br /> <br />WAG note: I believe Kenneth Patchen's 'The Deer and the Snake' has influenced the development of this offering.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-grief-observed/
