We Weep for Buffalo and Uvalde

We Weep. We Mourn. We Hope for Better Days.

Spirit, hear our hearts weep with you. Hold us up and be with us in our tears.

first it was 10
so bold and strong
living their days
grocery shopping at tops

but in you walked
hate spewing from your pores
taking lives one by one
who
why
what

a peyton gendron manifest
left dripping with hate
online for everyone
raw racism

you drove and drove
until you reached tops
strolling in with
gun-in-hand

who
why
what

and then came

19 children
2 adults
brought to death
in minutes flat

parents left without
families torn apart
who
why
what
