Another shooting today.

Bookmark
HomePoetryAnother shooting today.

There’s urgent breaking news online…
The shooter’s still about.
Each time I see the tally climb
My faith converts to doubt.

There’s blood inside the church’s door…
I’m guessing I should run?
I’m not one into blood and gore,
My brain is going numb.

Some catholic kids were killed today,
Another nut got pissed.
It shouldn’t take a gun to say
Class is now dismissed.

We’re sitting ducks inside a cage
In some sick shooters war.
Dig another grave my friend,
Tomorrow, there’ll be more.

    1. I cannot tell you how my stomach dropped when I saw they finally confirmed fatalities among the kids. I had so hoped there would only be injuries. I hate that this is now just reality for so many people and I hate that it feels like nothing can be done. I refuse to accept that as an answer.

    2. Strong poem inspiring strong feelings. Wishing this weren’t happening. But wishing isn’t enough. Here in my state people can own a gun without a license even. Sickening.
