You Were Not the ShooterA Poem by PepperOrlando vent
You were not the shooter.
Your trigger sensitivity was not so high That your Pulse Could fire the gun. You were not the shooter But their existence disgusts you to your core. You see a child in public, With his father on his left And his other dad on the right And you cringe Turn your own daughter away because "It's sinful, sweetheart." You were not the shooter But you told your children that People like that were not people at all That man loves woman Woman loves man And that is the only way to be because Your word is law, d****t And you shall not be disappointed. You were not the shooter. No, you weren't the shooter But you were the support. You were the encouragement, The call to action. You were not the shooter, You were the bullets. © 2016 Pepper |
