Regarding The Massacre

23 is not a stagnant number
of the massacre
it will rise like the tide
till it gets to a hundred more
these insane murders
in the name of politics

a white foreigner beside me
chats with his Filipina girlfriend
saying that life is insane

he makes a point, i agree,
death is inflicted and there will be no reasons left

i have another definition of life now.
It is insane.
