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
