| “Kent State – May 4th”
As munchkins, we do dot-to-dot And see the picture. As adults, we do image-to-image And see the picture. A senseless “war”; A peaceful protest; An incident that kills; A memory that fades. As munchkins, we did dot-to-dot And saw the picture. As a student, I did image-to-image And saw the picture. A peaceful protest; 13 shot, 4 killed; The guardsmen’s silence; The questions remain. As munchkins, we see the dot-to-dot As a path to the picture. As adults, we see image-to-image As a path to the picture – The picture of a tragic event. Megan Delia Ratcliff 30 September 1999 |
