Another School Tragedy – and people wonder why.

So, another tragedy at a school.

 Does it make the news – for a day?

We must celebrate the first responders.

The heroes!

Say a prayer?

Have the families in our thoughts.

Remember the community.

Maybe someone will designate a certain color ribbon to memorialize this event?

 – Red, orange, yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.

All been used – perhaps a chevron, polka dots, or pastel?

My heart does not hurt –

It rages!

I am mad!

I am mad that this occurs and innocent children become victims of a coward’s copycat actions.

Yes – he is not unique.

Somewhere around three hundred years ago Andrew Fletcher wrote –

“Let me make the songs of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws.”

Funny – the Iowa student was listening to KMFDM’s song – “Stray Bullet”.

This Snowflake seems on the same page as the Gen X’er – Eric Harris.

Or perhaps Eric was a Millennial?

Whichever – Harris was one of the two who disrupted class at Columbine.

Harris had KMFDM’s song “Son of a Gun” as the backing music to his online presence.

How many years removed?

A quarter century – yet still stirred by the same rhythmic forces?

I am not one to promote any type of censorship – but if you want to know why these students do what they do – discover the music.
