Government "Sentiments"
Bloodshot eyes.
Crimson red dye.
Sleepless nights arise.
Hands shaking.
Bodies are in shock
while the government continuously mock.
No doubt in my mind
that the government is putting all of this behind.
Only to come to the conclusion,
which adds more confusion.
"My thoughts."
"My prayers."
They say to the dead bodies under the dirt layers.
These words.
Cold and empty.
Old and overused.
How can they fix the amount of dead
When everyone is filled with dread?
The firearms
lead to bigger harm.
The blades
lead more lives to fade.
The bombs
lead the way to the tombs.
No more violence.
No more silence.
"Thoughts and prayers" bring out anger and sadness.
The people who have all control have finally showed they have become relentless.
Their thoughts.
Their prayers.
They are not bandages
rather words to break more appendages.
-Snow that flutters down like feathers

Note: Hello my readers, I wrote this poem in response to the phrase "my thoughts and prayers." The favorite phrase the government of the U.S. likes to use. I have been wanting to write a poem about the government's actions they have taken so far. So, I hope you all enjoy reading this one. Happy reading!
