I WONDER IF A HEART BEATS IN HEAVEN? By Jasen Sousa

I WONDER IF A HEART BEATS IN HEAVEN?


Stray bullet,

look at the little girl
who has to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair,
watching her friends frolic at the playground,
can you imagine how it feels there?

The target,

the owner of a store fired upon
by someone stealing a beer.
Store becomes a memorial,
everyday his family goes to kneel there.

The thief

is still out there,
but they will never reveal where.
Hiding inside a community
where they continue to steal air.
Put to rest by

a stranger’s weapon,

I wonder if a heart beats in Heaven?
