Pay Attention To the Signs

Another candle lit eve brimming with flowers and stuffed things tin tears and puffy prayers fiery speeches from cherry tongued preachers all the while the hollow eyed ogre smirks. Waves of: blame the gun ratatatat blame the man ratatatat blame society ratatatat blame our faded genes... ratatatat Nothing ever gets done, noses buried in our cell phones heads up our sluggish @sses send the lambs back into the power lines and stained glass ratatatat Numb to carnage and blood (it will never happen to us) but there's a pair of snake eyes in the back of every bus. but do not deny there were signs there's always signs pay attention to the signs!

This is so well written... the despair, the tragedies, read as raw. And the message... always the signs. Brilliant and thought provoking.
