5/02 Gone and forgotten would be better

   11  Blood for blood is the last resort,
   but all the Sons of Abraham understand that final imperative.

   175  The dead will rest easy —
   they always do.

   77  The living won’t rest easy —
   we never can.

   93  Can justice serve vengeance,
   or vengeance justice? Let’s hope so.

   5/02 — Gone, when gone and forgotten would be better;

   but we do what we can.
