the west wind blows smoke
from 50 more hearts and minds
our souls are heavy

Moving On

from shock and horror
sympathy and worry
to sadness
that somehow our society
 produces so many people
For whom mass murder
is the only way out
of what they are in
and the feeling that
absolutely no one
knows what to do about it

Another American terrorist
Aiming for the weekly prize
House flunked the assault-weapons ban
Who could have foreseen THIS?
How many will die to protect
Our right to slaughter?
