These Incidents Are Isolated Events Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

There is no need for anyone to resort to panic,
Just because a few disgruntled people...
Have somehow gained access,
With prior approval and security passes...
To allow them to maim and kill,
Those who happen to be...
In the way when their minds snap.
And they go beserk with weapons they easily purchase?

Let us regain our composures and wait,
Until investigators have determined...
After thorough backround checks have been made,
To ensure everyone has read the policies...
With a comprehending of them.

'Shouldn't we 'first' evaluate those standards we value,
With a self examination of ourselves? '

And what would be the purpose?

'Perhaps our approach should be corrected.'

Nonsense.
These incidents are isolated events.
And should not be taken seriously.

'Shouldn't we 'first' evaluate those standards we value,
With a self examination of ourselves? '

Personally...
And I'm sure I speak for everyone else.
WHY...
Should 'we' re-evaluate our entitlements,
Because a few angry people...
Become upset over petty issues?
Now I ask you...
Which standards that we value,
Do you wish to have replaced?
