the Wrong Ones
May 2, 2016
the Wrong Ones were taken in the swampy cloak of night
boots smashing the door
hands thrashing and breaking
a woman draped in white silk
mud-spattered and boot battered
a child with a small teddy bear
snatched and ripped before his eyes
a man crying out
it’s a mistake
dragged through the streets
hiding their heads in the cloak of darkness
full of shame
the woman begs
the child wails
the man is silent
because they know
they are the Wrong Ones
