Our humanity is copulating with violence.
Of all the murders in the US in 2012, 60% were by firearm compared with 31% in Canada, 18.2% in Australia and just 10% in the UK.
Guns play in fields of hope
like swing sets begging to
be heard, and pop out bullets
to argue for existence
and the world wonders
what’s happening
what’s going to end the
mad echoes of bullets
then the mothers
read out texts
“mommy, I love you”
and then her son is dead
Orlando nightclub shooting
Where are the angels
everyone talks about
are they narcissistic
playing on pornographic
computer screens too
Everyone looking at everyone
everyone screaming at their phones
and we wonder why people are dead
cinematic forging through dead screens
And the stats don’t change
the guns are out to play
bloody boots and shoes
old forgotten music through
broken live streaming
Where has the love gone
dancing in lonely
parts of a world soul
lost before the
planet extinguishes
maybe then the guns
will stop as we strike
our earth down with
our hungry egos too
God walk in
and make the world surrender
While we are counting bullets…
