Hoping for Better Days

Denial,
Shock,
Sadness.
Doubt,
Surprised,
Sorrow.

Bullets in our guns,
crash into each other.
Bones in our hands,
crack at contact.

War rapped in a ribbon,
our bodies tattooed with disbelief.
Wary of the realization,
outcome of the world is this.

Instead of waving our middle fingers,
wave the peace signs in salute.
In this case I remind you,
we are the people of God's creation.
