Rensaku: Tanka In Times Of Terror💀
🚶🏻♂️⚖️💔
sex-u-a-li-ty:
is what we’re all born with,
but some are lost souls
and try to find their own way
in harm’s mob mentality
🏃🏻♀️🚔🔫
late spring afternoon,
a woman on the freeway
careful, concentrates
traffic slows, the radio,
a gun pointed at her head
📱👫💻
youth on his laptop,
his girlfriend is texting him
afraid for them both,
hiding in the same classroom
as another boy reloads

It is terrifying. We just never know when it will strike close to home - or us.
Well done, Jade. Very emotional write.

Thank you, dear Sage. I was trembling like a leaf as I wrote the set, reliving everything... especially the latest in Downey, seeing all of it live.

It was UNC Charlotte here last week. A student was killed by throwing himself atop the gunman, thus saving countless lives.
It blows. It really does blow when all your kids want is an education and a life of their own.

Absolute truth.
And yes, I also watched the news right after that happened. The best sacrificing their lives in the shadow of those who show that they have no more right to live.

Thank you, my friend. I’m grateful you understand my use of the emojis was to do what an elementary school teacher does with visuals to accompany a lesson for the class.
Your read & express is so very kind of you.

This work hits upon a painful legacy of Reagan era defending of mental health services.
Too many individuals fall between the cracks of our patchwork system of caring. (Meant globally)
I pray for a day we evolve up to the point of caring for all as our selves.

"hiding in the same classroom
as another boy reloads"
... rarely was terror summed up so terrifyingly.
