A friend who was killed in Newry, Northern Ireland. This is how I found out about his death.


Ken Parry, d. 1984.

The bomb planter,
Urged by bomb ranter,
Booby-trapped the gate
With explosives and hate:
Opened in the morning
(His last dawning)
It killed the gateman,
The always-laughing no-hate man.

It was a two-minute item on News at Ten,
Then
The viewers were smitten,
By the piece about the rescued kitten.

I'm so sorry. Media... war... it's all a joke. It's so out of place, so cold, and so pointless... I'm so sorry.
