Cover image for post Lone Wolf, by Patrickfull
Patrickfull in Poetry & Free Verse

Lone Wolf

50 dead

53 injured

Death tallies still increasing

Bodies not yet identified

Cause unclear

Fbi to make a statement

Lone wolf attackers are situtations we can't stop

Ar-15

Military grade weapon

Assault style rifle

Lone wolf attackers are situtations we can't stop

Gunman may have had anti-gay leanings

Attributed to seeing men kissing each other on street

Showing public affection was never such and affliction

Lone wolf attackers are situations we can't stop

Location identified as Pulse nightclub

Part of the LGBT community in Orlando

Support is raining in from throughout the city

Lone wolf attackers are situations we can't stop

Lone wolf attackers are situations

Stop there

News sources

Brewing up emotion

Like a blood red tea bag

But it over seeped

Too many times

Are they exposing to the same devastation

The boy who cried wolf was heard 3 times

The boy who cried wolf was only helped twice

And no these calls are not practical jokes

they are screams of Ragnarok

Coming to claim souls

But this Armageddon is man made

Fired from the barrel of a Colt

Racing to the finish line

And no this wolf is not imaginary

Instead he is the monster made from society

Instead he is a victim of online extremism

Instead he was suffering from mental health issues

50 dead

53 injured

Death tallies still increasing

Which statistic which issue do we address

The murder or the monster

And can they be differentiated

They say this lone wolf wasn't packless

Pledged allegiance to ISIS

Investigated twice and

he still obtained an assault style rifle legally

Even if ISIS wasn't there

this lone wolf wasn't alone

Lieutenant Governor of Texas tweeted

NRA protected

How many times does the same razor cut society till it dulls

The same feelings of anger no longer uproar

Just commonplace

The 2nd ammendment is a right we've granted

But limitation is met with intimidation

And soon the guns fired will have no target

for everyone will be dead

Lone wolf attackers are situations we can't stop

Yet 2 times

Omar mateen was Investigated by the FBI

And still legally buys a home wrecker

A life stopper

A death bringer

Opens fire on a club

Victims hide

texting goodbye to family members they'll never see again

Apologizing for a mistake they never made

Apologizing for being them self in the land of the free

Because guns right and gun violence

Are a freedom all their own

Lone wolf attackers are situations we can't stop

Fact

Because in our society

there is no lone wolf

Whether its the captured pre

Or the invisible and powerful

they never stand alone

Lone wolf attackers are situations we can't stop

And gun lobbies, religious kamizake, and the next wave of Nazis

Mean they never truly stand alone
