not enough yet? HUH?

dark light

dark light 

of 

man

shines bright

more dead kids

became numbers 

in the bloodied 

history of hypocrisy

the deaf multiply

as 

hypocrisy 

reeks of death

the

death of kids

death of kids

in part

from politicians

standing

 without shames

hands held palms up

asking/begging 

for the NRA

to buy their 

influence

to buy their 

influence

fuk 

the community 

families 

friends 

directly effected

by murders of kids

fuk 

political powers 

refusing to put 

live kids 

as priority

is that condo 

or 

your spawns education 

more important 

than those 

destined to be 

the next dead

how wrong

would be

for another to wish

such tragedy

crash land

your face

how wrong

not so much

more than 348,000 students have experienced gun violence at schools

since Columbine

there have been 

376 school shootings 

since 1999

199 children

educators 

and

others

have been killed

in 

school shootings

killed 

as in 

murdered

there's your sign

i'll see your raise and bet another thousand or so dead kids before we are done!

“more dead kids

Children’s innocent blood stains the streets, stains our collective hands…hand over our sanity now. There is no way to justify gun violence. The Constitution dies not defend violence against the innocent. I hear the cry in your words keith. I see the tear in your eye as your tirade calls the roll, mourns the toll. Numbers don’t lie. How many more will die? I smell a Faustian barter - trading lives for votes. Bipartisan greed and irresponsibility reign
As grieving psrents drop white roses into still fresh graves.
Your words are powerful and important, prophetic and apocalyptic. Who is listening? Truly, ‘is there anybody out there?’ Boom….drop mic for the dead.
out there
