Slaughter

Nothing can soften the tension in the air

Blisters from fighting with our hands

When our words fail 

We have nothing left that retains our humanity

We have nothing left except an excess

Of hatred in our thoughts

Hatred in our bones

Hatred in our hearts

We are killing each other 

faster each day

 

Another stone tossed

Another glass house breaks

Another shot rings out

Another life that's been stolen

Fuck

Why do we all need to die

For a form of validation

How many more need to die

Before we realize that there is a problem

 

We are living in another world

Where we think we are immune to this epidemic

Tomorrow you may be the next victim

Shot down like a fucking dog in the street

Dehumanized

How many more of us need to die

Before we are completely desensitized

 

If you think you've got a right to take another mans life

Fuck you

Your logic is idiotic 

Based solely on hypotheticals

Just look at the proof all around you

People are dying every day

A hundred innocents are killed for every person saved

 

Another stone tossed

Another glass house breaks

Another shot rings out

Another life that's been stolen

Fuck

Why do we all need to die

For a form of validation

How many more need to die

Before we realize that there is a problem

Thank you for your words,

Thank you for your words, they are very nice. I'm tired of seeing so many victims of gun violence. And its become an every day occurance.  There is no logical or sane reason why there is relatively very little gun control. Since when does carrying a gun make anyone safer? The answer is it doesn't.  People get ahold of other people's guns, kids get ahold of guns.  For every story there is about a gun owner saving his own life or family's life, there is literally 100 other instances between each occurance where there is an accidental shooting or some form of gun violence. Endrant lol

Murder By Death

Saddened when it occurs, inured when not in front of our eyes, we as humans are killers, murderers. Insane or accidental, purposefully or motivated, we kill. All wars are crimes - Dabney Coleman in The West Wing. Good rant, rant ON! - allets -
