Fuck this shit Turn on the t.v. 20 dead. Wake up 9 dead. Fuck your guns Fuck your extremism Fuck you. We are better than this We give a damn Even if you don’t. I was numb after hearing of the third mass shooting in a week in the United States. My emotions were overloaded between the fear, frustration, anger, intense sorrow, and disbelief...my body went numb. I decided to focus on one feeling, the strongest feeling: anger. For those who know me, they know I rarely swear. Their jaws would be dropping to know that I wrote this. Poetry is art. Art is emotion. This poem is as raw as it gets. I can't describe it any other way.
