No More
He's a straight shooter a son of a gun
Mows down pedestrians just for fun
Had fits of depression he acted alone
They found all they needed on his phone
He rented a truck and he went for a ride
Plowed the crowd from the passenger side
By chance a passer by recorded it all
He also got shots from outside the mall
Thought they were training for the MI boys
With backpacks loaded with unseen toys
Nearby a someone pushed the trigger
A few years before it was even bigger
It was early one morn in the late summer
It coincided with the emergency number
Thousands perished in those two towers
Just one of numerous acts by the powers
And here we are and wondering when
We'll be assaulted again by evil madmen
Am telling you now it is all by design
So that you won't get any peace of mind
Feel helpless to do anything about it
Laughed at if I write it down or shout it
As you I think of protecting my loved ones
Stay uninvolved so they won't face the guns
But I'm a fighter I can't leave it alone
This is my world my future my home
Scream to the elite to hell with you all
I will see your divide and conquer fall
Bastards and bitches your tricks get old
Predictable as your quest for fools gold
We're seeing through you your time is up
There will be no more wars to fill your cup

I feel you, hard to ignore how messed up a world we live in
makes me wanna write and fight
I really like this verse
"It was early one morn in the late summer
It coincided with the emergency number
Thousands perished in those two towers
The first of numerous acts by the powers"

Thank you Beigetrousers. It is hard to ignore, but fear holds many back from expressing their outrage to the creators of this mess. That part you like is probably the best written in the poem, i wrote this in a hurry with passions running through me, wanted to keep it raw because that's how it all affects me. We who express ourselves through writing at least have that tool to use, many feel utterly powerless to do anything. Maybe i am a hopeless naive dreamer, thinking we can build a better world and rid ourselves of the evil ones who control it but i take comfort in knowing that i am not the only one.

it is so sad, what we have become and what we now have to fear - A well written piece holding up a mirror to us all :-)

We humans are slow learners. We hand our power to a select few, but when power consolidates and corrupts and views us as worthless tools we act surprised as if we had nothing to do with it. But still i believe in people, there is more good in us than bad and we will see the light soon that united we stand and divided we fall.
Thank you David

This is blowing the head off the nail...you echo my heart and mind Linda!! It's always reassuring to see that the world still has living people and not everyone is a zombie following a pied piper of hatred that is most of the politicians today!! 💎 gem indeed!!

We can't allow them to paralyze us with fear, they're counting on just that, so we must tell it like it is, this is our world to protect, not theirs to ruin.
