The Conversation Was About

The conversation was about how

Some of the greatest tragedies,

Most vicious acts of violence

Have been carried out with

Holy books under arms,

She came in cursing

That it was people

Not holy books,

And if she had her way

People would be shot for

Sitting around talking about

Holy books in such a disrespectful

Manner and she pulled out her bible,

Thumbed through pages to read a line

Here and there to prove why shooting’s holy.
