ALEX WAS A NURSE, a poem

 

 

Everyone loves a nurse

They are caring

They are kind

They listen

Alex Pretti was a nurse

He has been added       

to the lore of the nurse

as a martyr

Like a nurse rushing to aid

a patient in distress,

he sought to protect

a woman knocked down

by a masked Trump agent

in Minneapolis

Alex stepped between the victim

and her attacker

He was thrown to the ground,

surrounded by Trump thugs,

beaten on the head,

pressed into a helpless position

on his knees, shot in the back,

a prelude to nine more bullets

pumped into his prone body

Alex was a nurse
