Bartered & Sold

Rochelle Lynn Holt

What adds insult to injury is bold
disregard for our Mother’s wishes:
i.e. her plaque beneath Father’s.

which one or both sons oddly dismiss,
removing veteran’s marker
to replace with one long gray stone so cold.

Dad was WWII warrior
whose bronze honor was only eight years old.
“Together Forever” is script hisses

arrogant disclaimer doesn’t uphold
explicit desire of Mother,
now buried in grave with more abuse.

Why must they degrade dead soldier
when his wife never asked for distress?
Again, compassion is bartered and sold.

No church, priest or procession misses
what special woman asked to progress
from this world to light of other.

Thus, adding insult to injury so bold
is disregard for Mother’s wishes:
i.e. her plaque beneath Father’s.
