Thoughts and Prayers

Post by mnaz » May 27th, 2022, 5:15 pm

Thoughts and prayers.
hought nd rayers.
ought n ray s.
g t n ra.
Pop pop.
Pop poppop.
Poppoppoppoppop.
Screams ricochet.
Steel chambers.
Go back.
Do it again.
Again, again.
Over 'n over.
And under.
Thoughts.
Prayers.
Disease.
So it
goes.

A diseased society. Doesn't even seem to recognize the disease.

We’ve become a country of cowards, so terrified of the unholy power of gun worship that no sacrifice of young blood is too great to appease i
Maureen Dowd
got fun on the brain, not guns
altho i always wondered
if jesus hadda been shot insteada hung onna stick
would today's folks wear little pistols round their necks?
and fathers hand them down to sons
on birthdays and graduations, sayin...
"here boy, this'll keep you saved.
talk to this when you need to."

...and then i realize that yeah,
they already do.

A quote from the mayor of Charleston today:
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg said 10 people were wounded in a mass shooting last night in downtown Charleston late Monday night ..... Tecklenburg said there have been 230 mass shootings in America so far this year ..... “It’s May 31. That’s day number 151. And that means there’s just over one-and-a-half mass shootings per day in America,” he said. “Every 16 hours in our country, there’s a mass shooting. Think about that, y’all: Every 16 hours in America, there’s a mass shooting. Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m angry about it. I’m mad about it. I’m fed up. And I concur with many of our citizens here and across this country that enough is enough.”

Well that's the South so he'll probably get voted out in the next election.

Guns are religion. You don't mess with religion.

Guns are evil. Look at mrs Winchester … building a house that goes no where because she is stuck in a death like curse

Yep
Ok hunting if you are hungry



But these people eat souls

It is more than black or dark
It is horribly real


I am the one that should know what to do I’m a grandma
What can I do to make it stop
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
