In 54 hours and a few minutes, Iraqi citizens will begin to vote.
A gangsta, a thug, a nigga will die a martyr &
A Sunni, a Sh'ite, a Kurd will live an ideal
Both be symptomatic of how we humans decide our fate as well as others.
Both be born of a process that seeks justice through unjust means.
Both, comedic in their tragedy.
Both, shocking in their realism.
Both irrelevant to the average American's day.
So easy to care about neither circumstance.
So cryptic to engage either's significance.
How unsettled both shall read, a textual rememberance.
How anxious both shall figure, a dreadful augury.
In ten hours the state will kill
Tookie.
In 54 hours the polls will open in
Tikrit.
