(Comment on Marie Colvin)

You stayed to tell me a story
fearless or foolish, braveheart or banale
you knelt at the sacrificial altar
a big mistake.
So the needy stay forgotten
the desperate still forlorn
and limb-strewn rubble commonplace
to the eyes of the world
now distracted
to follow the story of you.
