Issues in Our Society (Part 1): Guns

      Like it's foundation, America has always solved it's problems with violence.With the greater accessibility of guns and weapons this problem has just gotten worse. There are two sides to this though: those who abuse this privilege and those who are genuinely afraid. Those who abuse this are mainly those who will shoot you on sight if you "bad talk" the Stand Your Ground Law. If you have the privilege to genuinely defend yourself, your family, your friends, etc. why do you need to have seven large guns in a display case in your living room. I'm pretty sure if someone knows you have all those, they won't be bothering you anytime soon. On another spectrum, (though no one should have to endure such intense fear) some genuinely need guns for protection,. It's unfair they're lumped in with those who abuse their power. Some even use them rationally, for hunting or shooting at cans, nothing extreme. I believe no one should use or own guns, but given the circumstances, knowing some have it for the right purposes and use them wisely is slightly comforting.

The soulless body next to me stirred. I’m searching for something I can’t reach.

She is a wanderess. She doesn’t belong to a city, doesn’t belong to a man. She is a brewing storm.

Somewhere

White sheets, bright lights, and crooked smiles. He says, “This is where it begins.”

Where are You Now?
I gave you the key when the door was locked, but now I need you.

White Teeth Teens

The girl walks, ashamed, with her head down through the halls. The others stand by watching, laughing.

I’m trying not to let it show. I don’t want to let this go. I promised you wouldn’t complete me.
