Business as Usual in the U.S. of A.

Rated: 18+ · Poetry · Death · #2357479

Wrote this the day of the funeral for a friend's daughter.

Going to a funeral today.

Because,
it's the status quo
in the U. S. of A.

Another young woman,
murdered.

At the hand
of a man,
who claimed
he loved her.

Oops, he said.
Or was it a joke?

Whaddyaknow!

All bullshit and lies.
Just another guy.

Thinks he can,
get away with
murder,

if he cries.
