Matthew Harris Poet I do not know?

Egregious Evil Exceeds Means To Cope

bloodied fingers madly claw 
caskets hermetically sealed 
   bullet riddled bodies crazily didst draw
triggered bloodshed tsunami, 

   where logic insists there must be a flaw 
precious priceless proud loved ones demise 
   festers "stunned disbelief" to gnaw
perhaps shell shocked next of kin 

   utter primal wails resemble distorted hee haw
lifeless loved ones alive just moments ago, 
   these special darlings (dozen plus youth) 
   premature death deprived 

   never delight one or more in-law
whereat deceased brides and grooms 
   denied pledging troth 
   from permanently stilled jaw,

while bereaved 
   inconsolably cry deafeningly, drenching 
   cloths cupping raw cheeks, 
   a cruel prank sans burden thrust upon a maw
(whose womb once housed 
   forever lifeless son or daughter),
rigor mortis out buzzfeeds Stihl chain saw 

shrieking, how, 
   this "NON FAKE" living nightmare 
cast an excruciating pall,
   whence diabolic demons lear
into the opened seam, 

   where under a sheltering sky Gaia doth hear
the deafening lament against 
   a cool, calm and collected 
   frenzied maniac whose flare
ring nostrils adrip with rage 

   exchanged slugs of lead for dear
lee departed souls, 
   where dark clouds may never clear
as the living suffer horrendous psychic hemorrhage
   agonizingly bid their own 
   flesh and blood affixed atop a bier.
