Bullet Beats and Rhythmic Death

 

Like tumbleweeds toss about

in the dusty winds of time,

we tiptoe over the quicksand

of festering fear clouding our path.

 

Terrorism is no longer to be feared

from afar.  Rather, it knocks at our doors

daily; smashing through without warning,

despite laborious pre-planned cautions.

 

Where students once looked forward

to exciting computer coding classes,

they now spend countless class hours

mastering color-code survival drills.

 

Today, home on the range in the land

of hope, has become a daily old wild west

maze encounter with icy bullets fired

from raping guns seeking innocent warm flesh.

 

Where it was once about the beat

in letting freedom ring throughout the land,

we now find ourselves trying to beat the bullets

popping from death’s rhythmic band.
