Day 54 - Aurora (poem)

AURORA

It sickens me.
All this post-tragedy
posturing for political points.
It's not about guns.
A highly motivated madman
is what killed those people, not
guns.  And a theater full of untrained,
unregulated gun ownership
wouldn't have prevented
a highly motivated, wanna be
Joker.  It would have left dead
scores more in the confusion,
darkness and chaos.  It's not about God
either.  God didn't save anyone.  God didn't
punish anyone.  If He had any hand in it at all
then He's an asshole.  And so are we
if we spend a moment thinking
of anything but those poor victims
of a senseless crime.
