Gun Fetish

Seduced by the school shooter singing siren songs of shotgun blows to the heart beat  of the wet American dream. It's the human interest horror allegory The hero doesn't even get 15 minutes But the shadow has got a gun fetish Counting bullets as  They're counting blessings, numbered 1-27 3x his pump action  Light 'em up Snuff 'em out  Some head-sick self-entitled  monster in a mask on a mission of mass destruction Cashed in on their little tax deductions The most sacred snuffed out before the light could become them It's the darkness that dominates As the dragon dominatrix Witch inside The mind displacing emotions away from the art of  living  loving  and losing You're the submissive Ascend the divine madness or find yourself in shackles in the machinery.  Humming hypnotizing hymns  of conformity  Another one's lost his mind Descended And the scapegoat  is mental illness We all know,  The media is the medium is the message The subliminal secret passage to the shared skewed subconscious Planting ideas of bloodshed Like evidence in the  Bodies of specific demographics  Demonize Pack the prisons Capitalize And cut the blood losses Here we are now Hopeless It makes for great entertainment

Notes

I like to write something scarier than fiction this time of the season. A couple elements I pastiche'd here was from the show "American Horror Story" and the glamorization of the villain in the media.
