A former police officer clutching gun and knife
Rampaged through neighborhoods,
Lashing out against life :

So many massacres of innocents—
Bloody days .

Three–Year–Old Paveenut with pigtails,
Blanketed asleep :
Eleven classmates butchered,   | a lone surviver | .
Forweep

Endless reports of mass killings
Between shining seas
—The blood stains .

Ғ⋂Ͻk
Runners amuk :
Robust the red flags
And lock ’em up
Behind bars lonely,
With only the company
Of thundermugs .
