Clarity of Purpose

(This piece is dedicated to those innocent youths gunned down inside institutes of learning, by guns improperly regulated, and utilized by cold, heartless entities who committed these crimes without an iota of guilt or remorse. It is also a bold criticism to those lawmakers who are just as frigid and have done nothing about it and are more concerned about political contributions going to their coffers). Clarity Of Purpose Adolescents prodding elders for elucidations responded to evasively Probing Machiavellian faces heralding scathing biases superciliously Hindered and challenged fiercely resisting like the endangered tiger Opposing mortal greed searching for answers revitalizing will power Bullets impale youths with weapons running rampant on the streets Second amendment used as shield whilst corpses bloodstain sheets Talking heads blatantly blamed mental disorder as the sole offender While the fragmented system of law abandons to uphold a defender Mired in the abyss of ambiguity noble objectives negates doomsday Induced by human instincts defying monsters lurking along the way The mind ponders are they worth venerating if they conceal disgust Clarity of purpose stained with wicked machination morph into dust Written: 02-05-2018 Galveston Cruise Terminal Texas, USA
