Is there is no turning back
in the age of mass shootings?
when online games make
it easy for recruiting.
Looking down the barrel
of an imaginary gun,
killing hundreds is
now regarded as fun.
Young minds being twisted
for the sake of dividends,
lost souls being corrupted
then sent to kill their friends.
The door has been opened
and there’s no going back
now that all sections of
society are under attack.
Politicians in the pockets
of the gun lobby
all declare that it’s
just a harmless hobby.
Fake tears are shed
after every atrocity,
murders committed
by guns of extreme velocity.
Instead of giving oxygen
to the names
of the perpetrators
we should honour
the victims by
putting pressure
on our legislators.
Who needs a gun
that can shoot
hundreds of rounds
especially when they live
next door to a playground.
Innocent lives which
are now just statistics
victims of a world
that is too voyeuristic.

Virtuality is not too good !!
