Concerning January 24, 2026: The Murder of Alex Pretti

Lyrics to a Song I Wrote the following day:

There's a dusting of icy snow

There’s a hawk watching from a tree

There’s a dead man lying in a street up North

And anger rising in the land of the free

           

Hiding behind a podium, you're

Mouthing lying words

Denying the dead his innocence

And what the witnesses saw and heard

            You can say it once, you can say it again, but we know what our eyes have seen

It’s the season of epiphanies

The star’s light leading us on

The king is on a killing spree

Protecting his golden throne

     Every one of us a candle / Every one of us a song / Every one of us a story / Every one of us belongs

The night is cold, the moon is out

It’s the moon of the popping trees

The monks are walking, one step at a time and

They’re walking a walk of peace

    Every one of us a candle / Every one of us a song / Every one of us a story / Every one of us belongs 

    You can say it once, you can say it again, but we know what our eyes have seen / We know what our eyes have seen
