Primary school in Connecticut
Mass shooting
20 children dead
and six adults.
Gunman also dead.
The death toll may rise.
King Herod the Butcher
of Bethlehem
is not dead
His spirit lives on
whether it inhabit
the body of a
KIng in Judea
or a gunman
in Connecticut.
As Yeats once wrote,
"The blood-dimmed tide is loose
and everywhere,
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
are full of passionate intensity."
Today a tsunami of blood
rolled over
Sandy Hook Elementary School
in Newtown, Connecticut.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Herod's court
was full of passionate intensity.
