Gesture suicide
(in memory of Orlando and all atrocities)
Lets not confuse
Terrorism
With that hopeless
Act
Of the man
who believes
he’s nobody
and decides
to undertake
an act
of such horror
that no one
will ever
forget
his name.
Gesture suicides
are about that,
just that.
So lets agree
not to call them
monsters
devils
or psychopaths.
Just men
who’ve come
to believe
that they
are nobodies
stuck in a world
of the nobody
And who act
In an absence
of good faith
to take lives
so that they
will be
remembered
for something
at least.
They act
in an absence
of goodness.
The mark
of the pathetic.
