the oppressors' clinical case file

by Tichaona M Chinyelu — Read all 17 poems by Tichaona M Chinyelu

A poetic attempt to discuss reasons behind school shootings such as colombine.

Saturday, October 28, 2006

monolithic
described
by "the"
meaning
ultimate
definitive.

"the" personifies death.

"the" woos she
saying she has a stake

and she does.
runs the businesses
wears the uniforms
shoots the guns
terrorizes those
"the" proclaims
as enemies.

she personifies death.

"the" and she copulate
violently.
the seed is born
dangerously
deranged.

no cheerios for the cherub
named damien
six fingers, six toes
and a sickening sense
of two tongues tangled up
in terroritories
and districts
of under-developed
dysfunction.

columbine calamity
collides with
paltry parental perceptions
but still
the question is queried

how came among "the"
inheritors of hitlerism
gorging on son of sam smorgasbords
defecating dahmerisms
defiling the dream
of delusional deities?

we see but we don’t see
how it was bound to be
that the son of "the" devil
was born to revile
and revenge himself
upon his own
monolith
described as "the"
the most popular
the most monied
the mostly
free white
and under 21
maintainers
of the status quo

but for "the"
genesis of understanding
doesn’t germinate
from the sacrificial suicide
of the sum.

deceptively dissociative
"the" avoids the answers
that may
anoint "the"
with humanity.
