dragon

lone gunman and
troubled youth
and unobstructed
access and policies
and lobbies and
legislation and
control. Control.
Inside each mother’s
heart there is a dragon
The dragon’s roar builds
deep in the chest
before it spills out
into this world of words
and children. You too,
if not a mother,
you can wake that
dragon buried deep
inside. We need
enough dragons
that nobody
can ignore
their roar
