A New Norm - Form of the Week Ya-Du

A New Norm

Killing season,
no reason why,
listen and see
nobody safe
or free from threat, no relief.

In church or school
its not cool but
the rule of hate
takes the bait and
we wait for the gunman to stand.

So when the gun
fires on fun, it
has won again.
We cry sin, we
can't win. Action is what we need.

Ya-Du  
Written because of the events of last night 12 killed at a college country music event at a club by a lone gunman who basically did it because he could.
