An American Elegy
The field's on fire
wrath
and natural selection
loose in the commons
dying to ****
killing to die
this is no dress rehearsal
no prank
the breath of life
melts
into playground psychosis
triggering
the finger of a false god
summoned in the blackness
to try and choke humanity's
guiding flame
(but on it burns)
The Columbine High School tragedy occurred on April 20, 1999, killing twelve innocent students and one brave teacher.
