One Way Ticket

Rated "PG13" by the Author.

Written in response years ago to the school shootings that were happening almost daily. Very dark, possibly offensive to some, so I am rating it PG - 13.
One Way Ticket The air is chilled tonight Nothing stirs around here anymore, Chalk lines come alive On the speckled ground Love took the one way ticket to hell They said there were no signs Yet they screamed all over Their bloodthirsty eyes pleaded a new tale But the town was blind And love took the one way ticket to hell The world will pretend to care As they turn their ugly heads This could never happen here Fate could not give more, And love takes the one way ticket to hell. So let’s have another drink, We’ll blame the movies, Forget the children While we sing and watch love depart With a one way ticket to hell. (c) 2008 Joel M. Andre

Joel,

I identify with this all too much. Though you say it much better than I, mine was personal. It's called "A Wife's Tears" and was about my daughter's husband who was shot down in a drive-by shooting.
When will the craziness end?

Next Arrivals by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Robin Ouzman Hislop's poetry is certainly in dialogue with some of the key architects of the 'poetics of indeterminacy' � both the Modernist strands represented by the likes of Beckett and Stein, and the postmodernist strands represented, initially,
