Just One Mistake

Marc Livanos

One mistake.
One shot.
Wisdom and youth don’t mix.

Inner city handguns
provide muscle,
protection, prison fodder.

Prisoners left
in thoughtless wards
disappear from sight.

Communities left
fatherless are left to
fend for themselves.

Obama supports
lighting up landscapes with windmills
but won’t fully fund common core.

Obama champions
building stations on Mars
but won’t fund mini-police stations.

How long do our inner city youth have to wait?
