Wrote this this morning..its bound to change.....
September 12th
I don't want to move on. I don't want to support freedom through wearing Nike Air
I only want to collapse, hide my face between my knees and weep
Weep for ordinary boys who may soon trade in toy guns for real ones
Weep in my worry, my frustration,my anxiety
I don't want to wear a smiley face, I don't want to line Walmart pockets and buy another flag
I only want to cry, pour my tears on the ashen sky and comfort
Comfort ordinary men who face reopened scars
Comfort in their sadness, their terror, their despair
I don't want to stop mourning. I don't want to end my tears just because MTV went back to regular programming
I only want to remember, turn my eyes to the sky and pray
Pray for ordinary women who lay in their beds facing only concrete walls
Pray for their safety, their security, their promise
