Old poem about another mass shooting

UNEXPLAINED TORNADOES JUST KEEP TOUCHING DOWN


woman interviewed by MSNBC says:


we’ll just have to lock our doors now


bring our car keys in


sleep with a rifle next to the bed


>


nothing on Earth will convince her


and millions of others


to put faith and trust in alternatives


>


no banning AR-15s


no background checks


pray for unstable killers


to never cross your path


>


it’s the deceptively simple price


of supporting the right of the militia-minded individual


to keep, bear and use arms


whenever and wherever


anger and sadism trump reason

POEM ABOUT GUN MASSACRES AND THEIR PERPETRATORS

 we act shocked 

 at something we didn’t foresee 

 offer thoughts and prayers

 and do nothing after this one

 repeating this broken cycle

 too many times

 in too many lifetimes

 of victims, families and survivors

Poem About The Supreme Court

 Roe V Wade was settled law until it wasn’t 

 the Federalists got what they lobbied for

 the Fundamentalists rejoicing over Alito

 as he, with his team of ideological vandals,

 used pickaxes and jackhammers 

 to remove over 50 years of asphalt

 forcing women to walk barefoot on cobblestones
