In Your Father’s Arms
(Remembering Jason Owens)
By John Kaniecki
Jason Owens what have they
done?
On that lonesome wicked day
Shot you down with their gun
Didn’t even let you pray
To say your final tearful
goodbye
To your dad at home in the sky
Jason Owens what have they
done?
My poet’s pen is cold and
numb
They can do you no more harm
You are safe and secure
In your Father’s arms
Jason Owens, Mother Earth
welcomes you
Another tear
Another smear
On the red, white and blue
The headlines I demand
“MARSHALS MURDER MOURNING MAN’
Jason Owens what have they
done?
Your life over just as it
begun
Never to see Justin grow old
Your grandchildren you won’t
hold
I will hold fast to this one
charm
You are safe and secure
In your Father’s arms
Listen to what the Good Book
says
The Sword cuts both ways
Jesus will judge those wicked
cowards
But let our cry be heard
Hear my sacred vow
WE WANT JUSTICE NOW!
Jason Owens what have they
done?
Your crimson blood screams
They called your name
And then let the bullets fly
Oh, to hear your anguished
mother’s cry
And the authorities told a
grand lie
With no cameras to witness
the facts
Wednesday, August 24th,
2022, a day forever black
Jason Owens what have they
done?
Another name, another shame,
on an endless list
Evil shall persist until we
resist
I hear the rustling of the
bones of Mother Jones
A nation collectively groans
I point the finger of blame
on the institution
With revolution the solution
Blow the horn! Ring the bell!
This wicked tale we must tell
Jason Owens, I hope you died
not in vain
But that is up to the living
We that seek justice must sound
the alarm
Rest Jason Owens a chapter is
complete
But even in death there is no
defeat
You are safe and secure
In your Father’s arms
