An unprovoked angry, ******,
     and deadly war zone
     on an unprovoked whim
dispassionately, indiscriminately,
     and nonchalantly killing twelve
     innocent people
     with vigorous vim
     subsequently,

     (the lone this round gunman),
     a Marine combat veteran met
     similar fate tim
morosely, or with
     machiavellian bravado,
     once again all to soon
     invoking serum
min eye zing against,

     an aggressive ploy
     to STOP wanton
     heart wrenching mass killings
     leaving grievous survivors,
     friends and family
     of those mowed down
     teary eyed with many,
     a blotchy red rim,

when a scant
     few hours earlier
     attendees at Border
     line Bar & Grill
     in Thousand Oaks
     Southern California
     meticulously did prim
and prep countenances nim

billy giving a final
     touchup oblivious,
     how soon, a dozen random
     lives and limb
would be brutally
     wrenched asunder,
     asper an anonymous Jim
Mead self made assassin

     already on record
     (purportedly police
     spoke with him)
last spring, he
     Ian David Long, 28,
     (a former machine
     gunner, and Afghanistan
     war veteran) did grim

lee forsake his life
     amidst the
     ****** carnage
again forcing Americans
     love affair with guns
     lessons purpose driven
     existence go dim!
