The police are either part of the gangs or too terrified to do anything about it. Some weeks up to 40 people are found murdered. Sometimes that can happen in a single night. I have many wonderful friends in Mexico. The cities are plagued by gang wars but usually not involving innocents; however that is not true in border towns like Juarez and Nuevo Laredo where many get caught in the crossfire.Beachannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638256396472533685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943152373837433678.post-32972164388612886512011-04-18T12:59:41.003-05:002011-04-18T12:59:41.003-05:00Beautifully written shadorma capturing the fear an...Beautifully written shadorma capturing the fear and emotions so well ~ I aim to write poetry as well as you.

We hear mission bells, but they are not within. We need and call on angels, yet they are not our own. <br />But the lines that really challenge the senses are:<br />"your beauty<br />their scapegoat"...<br />That seems to imply a reference to both outer and inner beauty!

I think of the soiled doves of the Frontier reading this, for some reason-- we have expectations of the church-- especially the dark old mission churches so invite us in but then we are still on the promontories of vulnerability. I know this condition well. Lovely-- Jenne'Jenne' R.

Made me think of the paper sanctuaries we write, as if the angels they invoke were enough to keep real blood from spilling. The beauty of this poem, of course is time's "scapegoat" -- it endures by not lasting. May the telling of it here remind us all of the shared responsibility we have to offer sanctuary where we can.
