Crying in Uvalde Texas
For angels lost
Cheering in Houston Texas
For Guns
Remembering 19 fourth graders
With Cherubic LatinX faces
Clapping at NRA Convention
For Right to Own Instruments of Death
Dying of Broken Hearts
In Spouses, Brothers, Sisters, Parents
Purchasing Guns and Gear
To Murder Innocents (not rabbits with an AR-15)
Delivering Eulogies in Churches
For their Souls to Rest in Peace
Screaming Autocrat
For Mental Health and Security in Schools
Chanting Protestors
For No more Prayers
Speeding Trucks to Walmart
To Stock Ammo
Working in Congress
For Compromise
Pledging Allegiance
To Zealotry and Idolatry
Sharing Feelings
Among Traumatized Teens in Chicago
Singing the National Anthem
For the United States of Dystopia
