Like A Country

With its head

Hung low in shame

Its representative flag

Flies at half staff again



Need not wonder why

Just staff & students

Who did not need to die

Families only left to cry



Gurgling through

The crimson goo

With what is left

Of their last dying breath



No wonder they want

To save the fetus

Otherwise they will

Run out of targets



For everyone knows

They have the right

To be involved in a

One-sided gun fight




It doesn’t have to

Be like this

It is just that we can’t

Picture anything else




Civilized earthlings

Do not behave this way

Lest they are being

Distracted everyday



By keeping them

Living in fear

Is becoming

Abundantly clear

“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

– Angelo Devlin
