This should have been posted some time ago.  In doing blog maintenance, I discovered this still in draft stage.  Somehow, I failed to publish this short piece, which is a reaction to the craven cowardice of the perpetrators of the Boston bombing and salute to the those who rushed to the rescue.

When these lines were written we didn’t know that there were two bombers–brothers that share the same surname.  Here is Boston April 2013

The cowards fled while heroes sped
Their goal the innocent blood
That flowed from the grievous wounds

Such great shame now stains the name
That dealt such treacherous blow
Our spirit bent but not our will

Let us sing the heroes’ praise
Our voices united raise
Justice reign and freedom ring
