Silver bullets have no eyes They care not who is hit American schools where bullets fly Terrorizing the staff and kids The shooter often a kid as well This time he is a 14 year old His father arrested headed to jail How much about his child did he know The photo they splash on the tv Of a blonde haired student teen Surely a...

Your dirty hands upon me. I tremble at the thought. Begging let my spirit free. The mad militia I have fought. Love still binds my heart to you, despite the freely dripping blood.

How many wars are being...

Such acts still shake us to the core - These senseless slaughters some ignore. We're told that guns bought "legally" Are nothing to condemn, you see. Just guiltless children lying dead, A tragic scene - their parents' dread. While in the rooms...

In the confusion so confounding, A Confliction, everyone’s conviction - to voice, to reason, and nothing changes. A man was murdered today in the streets, Tomorrow, next week, next month a shooting- a school, a grocery shop, holiday parade. Why is it that we must die for your injustice? You corrupt politician! Faithless practitioner! Sandy Hook was a tragedy, Look at...

GUN VIOLENCE BLUES - corrected They built a gun-violence memorial in a god-forsaken corner of my struggling city A collaborative effort of a few academics, a handful of neighbors, a preacher or two, and some interested parties with a mission and a grant, a willing grad student, not much more than that It was a soul-searching journey and...

(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.
