Aurora

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.

You paid for a few hours of unreality. That isn't what you got.And the problem isn't too many guns...the problem is too many of the wrong people with guns...

[Tate Morgan]

Well I would sure think you would get your money Back The problem here is simple guns way too many guns.

[Jazique]

You know whats funny these people got shot with a GUN so why has buyers market increased for GUNS? We say so many guns and their bad but, here we are getting that permit and lock and loading just to take another life.

[Tate Morgan]

Well there are now only 12 murders in Australia a year they banned guns a while back we have 11,000 a yr here simple math .More guns is not going to stop this only ending this culture of viciousness will

[Jazique]

I know, sad part is guns are just second base weapons as the dangers on earth are increased by them.

[Tate Morgan]

yes you cant stop this violence until the guns are gone

[Tate Morgan]

in arizona a 18 yr old can buy a ASSAULT RIFLE He can buy as many as he wants .For what i say for what,.There seems to be no way to stop the violence

[Jazique]

Right their do you really think were mature enough, not old enough, mature enough to be holding a gun that could take a life, but, I guess thats as good as its going to get though; what was it 15 16 year boys use knew how to shoot guns like pros. Still hand out of deal out guns just like that, with not clue if that person might have a few screws missing.

[Tate Morgan]

well guns are the sad legacy of our manifest destiny that made this country

[Jazique]

Yes sadly, it has played its parts in many history's bringing either joy for some but, sorrow for others.
