Life Support©
by Max Hale
Take away the guns
so simple
until it's not
Breath slowly
center
compose
Mine to keep or
give away
Choice be the neighbor
welcome everyone
who welcomes everyone
Culturally multi-task
punish perpetrators and
sponsors take guns
succor survivors
This day's bloodletting worse
than the day before and
so it is every day
Shattered trembling we go
not gentle into
dark violence
Unmask offenders
shapeshifters
enablers
Rip off the mask of political
sycophants
Apply tourniquet
stop the victim's bleeding
spring the trap of
vengeance
Growth allowed on common
ground respect fills
open spaces
security
Live together in peace
shrivel in despair
Give up the guns
safer without them
freedom
