Never Again and Again

So the dying goes on, and unless
It’s their own or their loved ones’, people
Choose, must choose, which deaths they let move them.

No one’s moved by all deaths equally,
But many are understandably
Angry about those deaths that move them,

Angry others aren’t moved equally.
Arguments boil up over which deaths
Were cruelest, most unnecessary.

Whose death was the most inexcusable?
Most innocent? Most vulnerable?
Whose indifference was the costliest?

Whose was the most hypocritical?
Whose owned unmovable righteousness?
