He was just home — feeling fine.
But the world below burned hotter than we knew,
And from that fire, a bullet flew.
It found him not with anger, but with quiet grace —
A soul at peace struck down in his own safe place.
How can I make sense of such a loss?
A life so full, now a heavy cross.
How many more must we bury this way?
How many more youths will we lose each day?
Not criminals, not fighters, just names and faces
Being mourned now in too many places.
They ask for a future; we offer a grave.
How can a nation be this cruel?
