You already know
What will happen.
It’s more
Like a rerun
Than a new
Show
Of thoughts
And prayers
After
Each Episode.
Now every day
Is spoiled
By mass murders
En masse.
Families forever
Ruined.
Communities shattered.
And those
Who relish
Spoiling
The possibility
Of success
Of an opponent
Will stand by
Horror,
And allow
Us
To be terrorized
By the tyranny
Of the crazed
With weapons
Of war
In anywhere,
USA
Any time
Because
Freedom
To terrorize,
Maim,
And brutally
Murder
Innocent
Actual children
And their friends,
And teachers,
And preachers,
And relatives
Is freedom
Of their
Sort.
Demand action
From every
Leader
And
Neighbor
And
Person
You know.
Spoiler alert:
For Mothers’ Day
I honored
My mother
With Contributions
To Moms Demand Action
For Gun Safety
And to the
Brigid Alliance.
Moms are being attacked,
And dare I say
Tortured
Daily,
By fear
And actual assault
On bodily autonomy
Of themselves
And of their living
Kin.
My mother and father
Taught their children
To participate
And contribute
And improve
Our communities.
I relish the gifts
My mother
Continues
To share with me
That inspire me
Each day.
You don’t need
Me to alert you
To those who
Would rather
Spoil our capacity
To live safely
Than limit
The possibility of
One less
Shooting.
Demand better.
Do something.
Anything.
Don’t expect
Someone else
To contribute
Or sign
Or call
Or protest
So it’s done.
Sorry to spoil
It for you,
But your inaction
Is complicity.
Just like
Thoughts
And
Prayers.
At least
For Mothers’ Day
Please do something
To contribute
To stopping
The current
Insanity
Killing us
Daily
While expressing
Condolences.
