Stricken with sorrow over the murder of her son

Fritz Hamilton

Stricken with sorrow over the murder of her son.
A bomb in Karachi has killed him with 37 others.
What’s a more fashionable way to assert control?

It’s happening like this everywhere,
a gift of advanced technology.
Stricken with sorrow over the murder of her son.

Sons forever have been murdered,
but today we can murder them better en masse.
What’s a more fashioable way to assert control?

It’s true, we’ve always been homicidal maniacs.
Love is offset by the joy of torturing & killing one another.
Stricken with sorrow over the murder of her son,

she’s delusional, it happens to everyone.
It’s a natural sadism we should accept.
What’s a more fashioable way to assert control?

Doesn’t she realize humans are horrible?
Does she think she should be an exception?
Stricken with sorrow over the murder of her son,

we should chain her to the dungeon wall & rape her repeatedly
until she understands human nature & learns to like it.
What’s a more fashionable way to assert control?

Maybe Karachi is too primitive for her to be aware.
She’d be better off in New Orleans or Detroit.
Stricken with sorrow over the murder of her son,

what’s a more fashionable way to assert control
in a world of horror,
in a world of hate ...
