This is my last week here in my tropical writing retreat, and I'm definitely not ready to leave.

I really don't wanna be
the next massacre victim stat
gunned down
by the second amendment..

Don't wanna die
at the altar of misinterpretation
from a dated document
scribed by musket men
of the 18th Century..

Don't wanna debate anymore
cause my bullet shredded body
now lies splattered on the floor..

Don't wanna be a litmus test
of hypocrites and politicians
bought and paid for
by munitions blood money..

You heartless bastards don't care
that my children just lost a parent
that I'll never see a sunset again
that I died for an antiquated concept..

SO FUCK YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS..

We soon to be forgotten ghosts
have no use for you
and your murderous crew
of accomplices
