After A School Shooting
After a School Shooting
After a School Shooting
The dead and injured
Are counted
Parents cry out of
Joy and Misery
Because some of them know
That their children are never
Coming home
3-6 hours later
They identify the shooter
You can count that it was a
White, Christian Male
With Republican beliefs
But when it's not,
They demonized others who Identify, Believe, or Look similar
6 hours later
Representatives make a statement
Democrats talk about gun laws
Republicans only say
Thoughts and Prayers
And that
Guns are not the problem
But rather an
Unstable, Non-Nuclear Family
Unless, of course
The shooter is trans
Then the issue is hormones
Or if it was a woman,
Then she was just crazy
Or if they were Black or Brown,
Because then they're dangerous
And all of them should be Deported or Imprisoned
18 hours after a School Shooting
Another one happens
There have been over
300 School Shootings since Columbine
More than 300000 Children
Have experienced gun violence
You're more likely to die in a
4th grade math class than in the Military
It's hard to learn how to read
When you're afraid
you'll bleed out
Before you graduate
Kindergarten
The worst thing a child should be Afraid about in school
Is a test they didn't study for
Or the mean girls
Who makes fun of their clothes
Not dying during third period
The cycle repeats
As the Government does nothing
While the NRA funnel money
Into politicians pockets

Am I Human?
Am I human?
I ask myself this question,
thoughts rushing around my head
What's wrong with me?
Why am I like this?
Why is my heart empty?
Why does my own community hate me?
Why do they exclude me?
I feel as if I am not human,
given that everyone else is focused on romance and sex
I wish I knew why,
what it feels to love someone like that
Maybe then I would feel human
Why am I pushed aside?
Ain't I as Queer as everyone else?
Am I even human to you?
I do not purely feel contempt inside,
Why do you think that?
I just wish I was like all of you,
maybe then I would be seen
Maybe then,
just maybe,
I'd feel human once again
But why do I have to change,
for you to include me
Ain't I human as well?
Ain't I as Queer as everyone else?
Be furious.
Be absolutely enraged.

They don't want us to call what's happening in Gaza a genocide not because there's not been an official ruling but because these things don't get set in people's minds via official ruling. Instead it is the oral history that sets an event into place in mass consciousness.
Us calling it what it is - a genocide - means they can't wriggle out of it in years to come. They can't continue to call it a conflict or a war if we cement it in public consciousness as a genocide.
So don't tone down your language. Call it what it is. Make sure the history books know what happened and the genocides that took place in Palestine, Sudan, Congo.
Ceasefire NOW
It's The Palestinians Who Have The Right To Defend Themselves
But instead, the U.S., Britain and other European powers finance, arm and back to the hilt Israel’s occupation, including the siege of Gaza – Precisely to prevent Palestinians obtaining the arms that would allow them to protect themselves against Israeli military might.

- Angry. I feel I want to kill them."
