The Night Before
You pay attention long enough
keep your ears open
and mouth shut
there will be truths
that haunt you
as ghosts
You’ll be in a grocery store
or a social gathering
and such a truth emerges
wrapping around your ear canal
until the tunnel of listening
begins to close
No one you know
will be able to reach
the deepest chamber of your heart
sitting amid all that silence
She leans over and says
"Such a shame, isn’t it?
But you know
it’s not the gun’s fault ...
keep your ears open
and mouth shut
there will be truths
that haunt you
as ghosts
You’ll be in a grocery store
or a social gathering
and such a truth emerges
wrapping around your ear canal
until the tunnel of listening
begins to close
No one you know
will be able to reach
the deepest chamber of your heart
sitting amid all that silence
She leans over and says
"Such a shame, isn’t it?
But you know
it’s not the gun’s fault ...

Proud Boys
The far right gobshite fears to be replaced
and that's a plan that's worth a damn to me.
Then gone would be another dude disgraced
by bogus claims...of white supremacy.
The far right gobshite places all the blame
on all the folks he clearly fears the most
without avowing he himself is lame...
which nullifies his bloody stupid boast.
The far right gobshite claims a list of wrongs
from the hardships he's had to undergo...
like too much rap, and cleaning his own bongs,
or admission cost at the sportsman's show......
and that's a plan that's worth a damn to me.
Then gone would be another dude disgraced
by bogus claims...of white supremacy.

In The Shroud Of Chaos
I’m at a loss for words
When wings are given to such beautiful young birds
In remembrance of hearing their laughter, footsteps echoed in the wind
Kindred hearts, unfulfilled dreams, aspirations, with no time to defend
The mind of Satan so freely roams
Invading subways, supermarkets, schools, and even citizens’ homes
Parents, loved ones must share in the crying of tragedy’s feast
Absence of a presence to share only hushed memories in the humbling greet
Is this God’s plan the slaughter of...

Machine Guns in the Park
I love my new park
It has two half basketball courts.
A lake.
A wide u-shaped fountain,
where one can sit on benches
comforted by the sound
of rivulets of water cascading down stone.
That is as long as one isn't interrupted by the staccato of machine gun fire
Fake is better than the real thing.
Far, far better.
But a plastic machine gun
complete with real sound effects! (sans the tortured, terrorized screams of innocent people- maybe that costs extra)
in the hands of a four year old
is disconcerting. ...

Armed To The Teeth
In a world awash with weapons, the fearsome parade,
Armed to the teeth, our society's charade.
With a Glock 17 in hand, some say they're safe,
But in this arsenal, we tread on perilous waif.
The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield gleams in the night,
A shield for some, a menace for others' plight.
The Colt M1911, a relic of the past,
In our modern world, a shadow it casts.
The Remington 870, a shotgun's embrace,
Power in every shell, in the wrong hands, a disgrace.
The AK-47, a symbol of strife,
In conflict and turmoil, it...
Armed to the teeth, our society's charade.
With a Glock 17 in hand, some say they're safe,
But in this arsenal, we tread on perilous waif.
The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield gleams in the night,
A shield for some, a menace for others' plight.
The Colt M1911, a relic of the past,
In our modern world, a shadow it casts.
The Remington 870, a shotgun's embrace,
Power in every shell, in the wrong hands, a disgrace.
The AK-47, a symbol of strife,
In conflict and turmoil, it...

Uninjured
1st incident:
31 year old man, gunshot wounds,
pronounced
“Dead at scene…despite immediate medical attention”
…Suspect not found
2nd homicide:
Older woman—shot & killed
adult man & woman with life-threatening injuries
“there were 2 children in the home as well,
and they were not injured”
Children?! NOT INJURED?!
Never mind the trauma
Never mind the years of fears ahead
for these “uninjured” survivors,
These witnesses to violence
Never mind the feelings they’ll experience ...

Bronx Story
Shadows creep,
Deep in the heart of the Bronx, darkness seeps,
A world of pain and suffering, no escape in sight,
Where dreams go to die, swallowed by the night.
These streets suffocate in chaos and despair,
Lost innocence, young souls stripped bare,
A deadly code rules, blood always spills,
Chained by the devil, driven by his thrills.
At thirteen and fifteen, their lives torn apart,
Caught in the crossfire, hope ripped from the heart,
Foolish soldiers, chasing dreams of gold,
But the world they face is heartless and cold. ...

Chained by the devil, driven by his thrills.
At thirteen and fifteen, their lives torn apart,
Caught in the crossfire, hope ripped from the heart,
Foolish soldiers, chasing dreams of gold,
But the world they face is heartless and cold. ...
