PAD Challenge Day 17: Nerve-racking
PAD Challenge Day 17: Write a nervous poem.
Nerve-racking
Winston-Salem mother
kills 3 children and self.
Morrisville husband murders wife.
Sweet sixteen, 4 killed and 32 injured.
Chicago, 35 shot 8 fatalities.
Louisville 5 dead, 8 hurt.
Louisville 2 dead 4 wounded.
Kansas City teen shot in head.
Burke County Block Party 4 injured.
Are you concerned?
I feel like we're in The Purge.
Are you scared?
Another Violent Night.
Can't sleep like we all have PTSD.
Are you worried?
I feel like throwing a
Party for Self Defense,
in all black.
Play click clack,
rat-a-tat-tat, show 'em
How to tic tac toe 'em
before they toe tag you.
Are you getting nervous?
I'm trying not to have
a breakdown about having
to stay ready when we
should only be staying
ready for success, love and peace;
Preparing and humbling our souls
for heaven, not strapping up like GIs
just to keep our own blood warm
by keeping heat on and under the seat,
an AK in the trunk,
9 in the console,
10 in the glove compartment,
22 in the kitchen, the class, and
the government building,
45 by the waist
and by the bed,
AR in the garage,
anywhere lead is
reachable lead to protect
you from being another
one in the news found DEAD.
