“Why am I so angry at you!

Because you murdered my

Father so you can get into

My mom’s pants!”

-from Richard McBeef, by Seung

Cho, The Virginia Tech shooter

She was a 19 year-old

Petite blonde he downloaded

On the internet.

A fool for love

He swept her up like tiny handfuls of dust

In the vacuum

At the Blacksburg Hilton

They took a room.

She changed to

Yoga pants and a T-shirt

He kissed her

She said she was menstruating

And asked him to stop

He forced her to have

Oral sex with him

Then, he raped her

Elated, the very next day

He rode into the Guinness Book of Records

On Rambo’s wings

What have we learned

From his recklessness

His minting of martyrs

JFK RFK and Martin Luther King

Are never coming back either

Where have all our flowers gone

Turned to stone because everyone

Because we all love guns

Even more than we love ourselves
