I cried this morning
My sadness, nausea, and frustration at the world around me
rolling down my cheeks
pooling at the bottom of my chin
Arguments for the right to bear arms
at the sacrifice of LIVES
Lives of children
Lives of peaceful people
Lives
gone in moments of rage
gone because the mental ailments of others find a way to communicate their hatred and distain for those who may not share the same views in the form of metal and powder
in the form of bloodshed and lives lost
families dismantled
Ending lives
Making themselves Judge, Jury, and Executioner
the false power of brutish behaviors
Can we not evolve past this?
Can we not learn to love one another?
Where has this hatred so deep it's more valuable than life come from?
The questions, though I search
have no answer that satisfies
the heart
the mind
the soul
I see pain
fear
and the loathing of self
a sickness that turns us against our brothers and sisters
a violence that preaches its righteousness
a manipulation that breeds fear and seeks to divide
A LIE
boldfaced, arrogant, and mocking
Bloodstained America
boasting its heaps of dead children and tucking its guns in at night
Madness
