For Charlieby Matthew Mehan
A partisan becomes a man for allwhen the part of him that hates his foe can fallaway to nothing more than a tremor in the throat.Together let us learn the lesson by rote: The turning point for all our hopes of parley begin with Love and Church and now with Charlie.

In Memoriamfor Charlie Kirk
Under a technicolor Utah sky, in the clear September air,in the commons made uncommon, a man spokethrough riptides of Babylonian confusion, and he spokewith the light of the Word of Life, and that lightdispelled the darkness that cannot comprehend its truth.In the clear air, the bright and open air, a man spoke —and as the sky cracked to silence himhow many mouths gasped at once, a terrible hushlike a rogue wave crashing. But he was not silenced.The assassin slithered into ruin. But he was not silenced.His words extend now into time, in concentric circles, furtherthan before — and further still. Martyr for truth, and in truth, alive.America, may the Holy Spirit inflame and guide our tongues, andlet everything that breathes praise the Lord.Let everything that breathes praise the Lord.Let everything that breathes praise the Lord.
—Joseph Massey
