I shot the sherrif, but I didn't shoot no deputy...

"Our lives teach us who we are." ~Salman Rushdie
When sorrows come, they come not single spies
But in battalions.

Hamlet, Act 4, Scene 5
William Shakespeare
The Right Word -

Outside the door,
Lurking in the shadows,
Is a terrorist.

Is that the wrong description?
Outside the door,
Taking shelter in the shadows,
Is a freedom fighter.

I haven't got this right.
Outside, waiting in the shadows,
Is a hostile militant.

Are words no more
Than waving, wavering flags?
Outside your door,
Watchful in the shadows,
Is a guerilla warrior.

God help me.
Outside, defying every shadow,
Stands a martyr.
I saw his face.

No words can help me now.
Just inside the door,
Lost in shadows,
Is a child who looks like mine.

One word for you.
Outside my door,
His hand too steady,
His eyes too hard,
Is a child who looks like yours.

I open the door.
Come in, I say.
Come in and eat with us.

The child steps in
And carefully, at my door,
Takes off his shoes.

When you lose something precious,
you will always find something precious in return.
