Demise of a Mother-Poet. opus 739

13 January 2026 0315 Hours Current Events, Mortality, Poetry, Politics
Do we assassinate our poets, so unthinkingly?
And, even more sinisterly, 
Do we eliminate in a second, a mother of three?
If ONE knew the status of ONE'S potential victim,
Would that ONE go through with such a final act?
As a native once said, "Walk in their moccasins."
(Also, must ONE really now deflect investigation to her widow?)
Such a needless loss of a fellow citizen.
We shall remember you, Renee Nicole Good.
