-- by Horatio Algeranon
We're obsessed with youth
But do we care?
We sacrifice
Them everywhere
At home
In war
With drone
And gore.
We ought not bear this
Any more.
We ought not bear this
Any more.
Inspired by Our Moloch, by Gary Wills.
As Lucinda Marshall put it in A Culture That Condones The Killing Of Children And Teaches Children To Kill
Sandy Hook did not happen because of a lone, disturbed young man and it is not an isolated incident. It is an epidemic and we are all to blame. And today (and tomorrow and every day after that) is the time to confront this self-inflicted tragedy.
