SITTING DUCKS

There have been more than 200 mass shootings in the United States so far this year.
The most recent, at a Walmart shopping mall in El Paso, Texas, will probably not be the last.
Twenty-two people were killed and more than two dozen others injured after a man opened fire in Cielo Vista Mall.
The suspect, a 21-year-old man, was arrested.





 










EL PASO

Withdraw the bullets, mend the flesh.
Place back the bullets in the gun.
Return the weapon to the store.
Remove the fury from the heart.
Transform the shooter to the youth
he was before obsessive thoughts
led him, against humanity,
to spew out death like obscene words
and scatter souls like fleeing birds.
