Will we never learn
This incessant gun culture
Always ends with death
Each mass murder punctuates
Still nothing ever changes

Fields of History
Fields of history
Strewn with blood and with corpses
Religions finest
Left to rot in their God’s sun
Could it be no one was right

Hope For Our Future
Hope for our future
Lies not with the warmongers
They have lead us here
Killing is not the answer
It must be the last resort

Barbed Wire Gauntlet
Barbed wire gauntlet
Raised to stem the human tide,
Too much too quickly.
Balancing fear with chaos…
Another iron curtain.
Displaced and hopeless,
Longing for Europe’s safety,
Left in no-man’s land.

50 Word Story: Black, White or Blue
I feel the pain with my last dying breath as the warmth of crimson surrounds me. My legacy will be the chalk outline I’m soon to become ‘til washed away by the acid rains.
Whether black, white or blue, does it really matter when you’re dead.
…Death is color blind!

Gangrenous is Hate
Gangrenous is hate,
Leeching on healthy tissue
‘Til decay consumes.
Once done…tell me what is left,
But a hollow corpse seething.
Such a waste of life.
O’ the good you could have done
Were you not selfish.
Alas free will corrupted
Leaving you ever bitter.
Your path is your own;
Be happy in this karma
Brought about by you.
May you take it to the grave
So the world might benefit.

Hawks Call For More War
Hawks call for more war
A peaceful resolution
Is the last resort
Someone I think is confused
When shedding blood is first choice

National Rifle Association
Never enough death for their liking
Always responding with “more guns”
This never seems to solve anything
It simply exacerbates the problem
Our constitution was meant to be fluid
Not fixed in the past
As times change so must it change
Lest we be captive to our founders
Read Jefferson
In his infinite wisdom he prayed it to progress
Fitting the needs of future generations
Left to our own vices we have failed
Every time a death occurs with gun-in-hand
Aren’t the lives lost worthy of discussion
Society says it has progressed
Sadly…I do not see it
Only more violence met with the promise of violence
Calls for change go unheeded
Instead they are met with angry rhetoric
Attacking anyone who disagrees
Toughening of gun laws is not outrageous
It is common sense
Only a savage society would disagree
Now let the games continue

Reaping What We Sow
Reaping what we sow;
Hatred only breeds hatred
As history proves.
See the neverending wars,
The eternal racism.
Turning a blind eye;
Pretending it doesn’t live
Does not make it true.
Ever since nine eleven
War has been never ceasing.
Ferguson…murder,
Baltimore, New York City
Charleston…again murder!
Racial hatred at its worst,
Plantation mentality.
This land of the free
Has sadly become a myth…
Just look at the news.
We are in shackles to war,
Racism, hatred and greed.
Sadly we don’t see
We are mice on the treadmill
Blindly taking bait.
I guess it really is true…
We are reaping what we’ve sown.

Laid to Final Rest

Laid to final rest
With a farewell and kind words.
Eulogies given;
The famous and powerful
Came to pay their last respects.
But is this enough,
We’ve been down this road before;
It’s paved with their blood.
Is this just more lip service
Paid to appease the people?
As the saying goes,
Actions speak louder than words,
This can’t be denied.
Maybe the edge has been reached
Finally putting an end to the hate.
Only time will tell
If these deaths have been for naught.
With man at the wheel
Anything is possible,
But I for one hope for change.
