Aurora

A Poem by CH Archive

Aurora 


They've left the escape route in sliver shards on the cutting room floor,

Those credit quotations don't carry the ambulances number. 


I'm just a little curious as to how we can deviate from the norm in such dramatic fashion, 

When somebody sets a gas canister on fire and lets the scarlet carpets burn, 

Is it ever to much to consider a ticket refund or your money returned?


The action on the screen is over saturated fiction 

While the rest of the theatre is up in gun smoke and smelling of velocity. 


What constricts the passage of blood from a 12 year old kid?

 

This reality is a broken satire, 

Filled with too much gore and cheep looking blood.


I'm just a little curious..


How I  paid 12 bucks for this f*****g bullshit.

You know a 6 year old girl was killed in the middle of all that. And he has the audacity to sit there with his orange hair and say nothing, as if he owes nobody anything.

He who judges is never worthy of affording himself that role, and it's awfully sad that he who thinks he has a point to make, makes only a point to say nothing and mean nothing with his empty violence. And then let a child die for it. As if he were God watching as his son were nailed to the cross. And then straight into self-martyrdom, because he were so righteous.

This is so simply written but the complexities lie within the message you are sending out. And I like how you change and drift from very well written, written word/prose to become slightly more colloquial towards the end. It's as if you're digressing from the rational newspaper clipping documenting such an event to being there yourself, retelling the horror.

And I adore the ending. It's your angst and everybody elses, and sums up what is wrong with this capitalist, consumerist world where everybody has to be right, and pretty much, in this day and age, $12 will buy you more than you ever bargained for, and then could very well be the end of you. As if you never knew it was even coming.

We all pay for each others sins, and while most of us dont feel it straight away, you can bet your life on a 6 year old getting shot in the face because of that bad karma. The children always feel are wrath. Always.

Sounds just as if you were a patron of the Century 16 Theater that fateful morning in Aurora, Colorado...very chilling stuff. That last line is classic!
