Poem
Twas a dark knight, whence there came a pawn the hushed crowded movie house A phantom of horror sprung out of the rookery that wrought deadly havoc Renting asunder innocent audience members Anticipating Batman annihilate evil within Manichean eternal duel Extant within imaginary world of Gotham portrayed on the silver screen When out of the black curtained theater tear gas canisters got hurled pell mell Accompanied by a fusillade of heavy machine gun fire Sheering many lives Many in the prime ascent sans parabola of adulthood The youngest, a six-year-old girl transformed into an ashen colored corpse Which death yet revealed to her young mother Critically wounded, and clamoring for said daughter While teetering on the brink of mortality Oblivious to stricken offspring While family, friends, relatives and anonymous prayers And this heartfelt genuine communiqué From me – a self styled nonestablishmentarian Gung-ho to invoke a mandate that high powered fire-arms Must be much less accessible I.e. bulletproof laws need implementation pronto So inhabitants of these United States do not fear for their lives Nor feel akin to a potential prey sighted in the crosshairs Wantonly gunned down from some grinning joker Slaking glee from mass killing as to appease unquenchable thirst To avenge some psychotic nemesis gloating to slay With a vengeance and contrived vendetta Promulgating pandemonium and grisly bloody aftermath Yet despite such horrific heinous atrocity Bravery and sacrifice witnessed and extolled From heroic instinctual motive to offer themselves as human shield So that carnage less devastating than toll on madman’s hit list Now in solitary confinement and even if executed Would be a Pyrrhic salve to those forever deprived of loved ones Burning with an eternal sorrow no matter Generosity of cyber sympathizers across World Wide Web Plus the president of these United States Reach out showering kindness analogous to Borealis raiment!
