how do you make sense of 33 dead?
some shot on their body, most in the head?
what brain like a Rubik's cube could possibly conceive,
to turn modern-day America in to Tel Aviv?
the media playing dumb, with their critical acclaim,
instead of seeing his message, they look for blame.
do you love your life more, now that you fear
everyday people, and not Ahmad Amir?
is it scary to think, that your life's end is near,
and one angry person, can make it disappear?

that stoic Asian face, plastered over the news,
and the repetitive phrases, they always overuse.
why did this happen, where do we go from here?
let's hold our heads high, and continue with the year.
