day EIGHT HUNDRED and FOUR


The bullet flew slow


Survivor of Parkland school shooting, Sydney Aiello, kills herself


Aiello died from a gunshot wound to the head


New Zealand to ban assault weapons after Christchurch mosque shooting


our love of guns
kill more than
the victims
of mass murderers
we hate our children
our citizens
the trauma of
the hate we give
destroys the lives
of the victims
who survive
if that is really
survival
each one of us
pulled the trigger
that killed
Sydney Aiello
the bullet flew
through the years
of our neglect
keeps killing our
children, and
children's children
until we decide
to stop loving
our death machines
