Another Shooting | Cassie

Another shooting…
No one will do anything about it
It’s as if we’ve decided that
A few greedy gun companies that
Care more about money than
Human lives matter more than
Children, moms, dads, sisters, brothers, friends

The loudest voices win the day
The bullies willing to intimidate
And coerce others because of
Some horrible insecurity they
Carry inside and refuse to address
We’re all forced to live in the
Terrible world of their making

I’ve got an idea
Get rid of guns and see
How many people are killed by guns
Just try it for a while
Ignore the second amendment lies
Promoted by those who only
Know violence

The American Way | Kofi Antwi

steel cranes rise
commencing workers quandary
a daily ritual
one enters a drove

follows. guarded like
Fort Knox, assault rifles –
trained k9s, a price
to see lady liberty

rusty or not – battered
city dreamers and
blue collar workers
ammunition-intimidation-American

way to keep up
with the Kardashian
vanity designed to divide
