just shut up!

just shut up!

A Poem by keith
"

thoughts prayers dead kids

"


make you nervous?
gun sight
blood splattered
imagery

more dead kids!

how many more?

just shut up!


just shut up!

another day beyond sad
how many more?

no apologies here
your thoughts
your prayers
serve only selfish purpose
the dead do not rise

condolences do no good
how many i'm sorries
will it take
until we be adults?
until we have
adult conversations?

ask the kids
that pissed their pants
as a shooter
a deranged person
with a gun
entered
for one purpose
and
one purpose only

to kill
to kill children
to kill

fuk adults for failing
fuk adults for taking
bribe monies from 
gun lobbies
fuk adults refusing to
protect kids

we are americans
we are the most selfish
we embrace the 2nd amendment
we place protecting others
lower priority

would you give your life
to save another?
would you give your life
to save a child?
would you give up
your guns to save another child?

i would

my guns my life
not more important
but petty excuses
to avoid responsibility

stop killing kids!
stop killing kids!
how many times
does it need saying?

stop killing kids!

stop killing the kids
please!
