Today the headlines clot in my blood
and tighten veins in my chest
a classroom of kinder-gardeners shot,
like sitting ducks at their desks.
gun control is the problem, they say
but couldnt it be simply be avoided by not
putting your finger on a trigger.
Consider signs that the ones around us
are disturbed, but only pretending to be sane and
yet, we return to our regularly scheduled programs
like all Americans do, with blood on our hands
what a country of freedom, we have here
that if i step outside my door, i may be killed
how tragic, how sad
I guess I should have been paying attention to the red dot on my back
