Long Homicides Poems

Severe surge regarding thou shalt not kill violations

Fifth commandment breached regularly
epidemic of gun violence in America
bullets fly, scream and tear into flesh
senseless rampant mass killings

buzzfeeding, jump/kickstarting, 
paradigm of mortality.

Since January first

In the cartographies merger with the soul,
where topographies bring thought converge,
a hidden rose blooms,
its petals unfolding,
like a cipher's dark emerge,
thorns burst contradiction piercing the hymen with certitude,
as the benthic depths,
a chthonic whisper,
exhale the secrets unsaid...

When the...

Some have the right to bear arms 
But I appreciate pens rather then commotions,
 Homicides, aiding in brawls,
 Or in middle class genocides
, car alarms, sirens in the distant horizon
 Of my suburban neighborhood
 Hearing...

Lifeless were the eyes of infamous Ted Bundy
No remorse, all emotion had been doused
His gaze pierced my soul as I gave testimony

Four coeds attacked in a sorority house
Lifeless...

The actual damage is being done.
By more than just the one item alone,
That we know of as a gun.
Plenty of rapes are being committed,

significant and alarming rises in deaths
shootings
murders

mow the lawn
go shopping
watch football
crack open cold ones

baby showers
graduations
weddings

domestic violence is significantly up
up being a surge
of consumer consumption
of cars and televisions...

Drinking whatever even bottled wines

It results in death in many cases and needs to cease and desists
