Cross Reference

Good Friday, with all its implications for the meaning of sacrifice Since childhood a wake-up call that the world does not play nice Ameliorated with the promise of resurrection A brutal display of power and manipulation Of those complicit in their own subjugation In the name of patriotism and what is best for the nation The cold realization that turns blood to ice That mass response can blur the line between virtue and vice. And when giving a rising cheer Remember there is also here
