Read my latest story, "The All-Nighter", at 52|250.

even the worst of us have been you
even the worst of us have said
what we think is right
have stood
with the people we believe in

not even the best of us has been you
whatever risks we’ve taken
shot or beaten
we’re still living

we have no right to speak your name
but must

not let you be forgotten
not let you bleed for nothing

whether you know the difference
now or not
