chrysanthemums.
poetic justice.
it surely doesn't exist.
I refuse to believe in it
when someone carrying a bag of skittles and an arizona can be shot at 17
I refuse to believe in it
when someone says they can breath and they are still held down
I refuse to believe in it
when I can be shot just for existing
These People were not the first and certainly not the last
so why is there no justice
we cry with bouquets of crysanthemums
rather than rejoice with springs of daffodils
Poetic Justice does not exist
but it surely can if we all fight back
