Alter Christus, Alter Vir
For Reverend Angelo J. Liteky
He died three times, for other men
Who lived because he died – once in Indochina
Once in his vocation, and one last time
Forgotten in a poor hospital bed
Soul-wounded in the false, incessant wars
Humanity inflicts upon itself
Fallenness falling again, ever fallen
And the ever-falling fell upon him
Though he lifted his love – always for others
He died again – and who will live for him?
