Take Me To Church

On the news I see the headline Another Young Male Found Dead. I know its the same as always. I don't have to read the rest of the story, but I do anyway. Young male found in a ditch just outside of Moscow. He was beaten and wrapped up in a partially burned rainbow flag. His wallet was open and the contents was strewn about, nothing taken, but a small picture of the young man and another male torn in half. This is the fifth one this month. Officers believe it is a small religious group, so no action will be taken by... I turn away in disgust. I look over at my wife. Our four year old is playing with a toy that my wife's brother had made before he died. He was the first case.
