The Only Fact

A death is a fact.

It is the only fact.

Many deaths is a question.

It is the only question.

 

A number is a fact.

It records. It answers.

Many numbers is a lie.

They manipulate. They distort.

 

A child is a fact

her future before her.

A child’s death

sears a hole in the future.

 

A void.

 

We are all children before the void

when tomorrow is the land of the lucky few.
