PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

This poem is a re-write of the song Benjamin as Mirror, which was about the racist
murder of 15 year old Benjamin Hermansen by neo-nazis in Oslo in 2001. 
The original has been re-interpreted here in memory of the infamous " freezing deaths" of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in Canada, and especially in memory of Neil Stonechild who froze to death on November 24th, 1990, after being abandoned on the outskirts of town by Saskatoon police.  Other victims of this police viloence  were Darell Night who survived his ordeal, on January 28th, 2000, and Lawrece Wagner (January 29th, 2000) and Rodney Naistus (January 30th, 2000), who did not.

I co-wrote this sonnet with a buddy of mine upon the request a young highschool girl. We thought, "Why not?" as we had nothing better to do anyway. 30 minutes late, this short was written.

I hope all readers enjoyed this and maybe chuckled a little.

Have a good one! :)
