Twenty-Three Knives

Prompt: Freeze the President!



This is violence:
where everyone holds a knife
but no one knows which hit killed

where everything is for the greater good

where those closest to us are the last we see

and you, too, were children until
suddenly
there was nothing left of who was once there

and it took twenty-three knives to kill Caesar
but there’s not enough time for all of us
to do the same
