Poems
Jan 2011
Tucson’s Lament
Winter respite,
Desert landscape,
Innocent Street erupts in horror.
Beautiful day
Dashed upon the rocks
And six o-clock news.
Politico’s bandy,
And mothers cry,
And all of America
Wonders why.
Random Gat,
Senseless,
Flat,
Six more innocents
Added to the list,
Scarring the crowds
That the bullets missed.
Justice shall come,
But somewhat late,
For injustices sealed this shooters fate.
The perpetrators in their unleashing,
Are lashing out
Against the perpetrations laid upon them.
Lacking skills to properly cope,
Leading to violence, instead of hope.
The whys shall be uttered for a few more weeks,
But sadly again,
We shall fall to sleep.
Praying that the night mare
Dare not visit again
Politico’s bandy,
And mothers cry,
And all of America
Wonders why.
