Summary:
The aftermath...

it’s not lost on me

the irony

as I gaze out the window

at a landscape thick with fouled air

unsafe for me to breathe

I see the destruction and the debris

carnage lying in the street

celebrating a birthday

while the recipient is on the deathbed

seems wildly inappropriate 

but not unexpected

it comes from both sides

for different reasons

those who still retain hope

perhaps the patient can still be revived

and those who think only with hatred

and haven’t even noticed 

the patient is barely alive

life support can only do so much

if the toxins aren’t removed

death is inevitable
