America’s Deadliest Massacre
I am befuddled
by our adaptation
to news announcing
mass shootings,
bombing massacres,
and terrorist attacks.
One man
owning dozens of semi-automatics,
thousands of rounds,
shooting at thousands of people,
injuring hundreds,
killing dozens
Yet, it is no longer top of mind,
there has yet to be a reform.
The ease with which
one man
could harm so many
is unfathomable
We are zombies
to tragedies
