"DELETE, DELETE, DELETE"

         I’m right
                  You’re wrong
         It is the weapon
                  Fuck you
         Punching keys
         Angry
         Frustrated   
         Viciously vomiting vile

                           DELETE, DELETE, DELETE

         I understand
         Your fears bind your logic
         It is the weapon—and more
         Let’s find common ground
         Pausing at each letter
         Appeasing
         Calmer
         Weighing wary words

         I’m right
                  You’re wrong
         Lives matter
                  Fuck you baby killer
         Gnashing teeth
         Pissed
         Wordless
         Shredding senseless shit

                           DELETE, DELETE, DELETE

         I understand
         Your reasoning rambles
         It is the weapon—and more
         Set aside the diversion—for another time
         Carefully staying focused
         Sensible
         Cogent
         Decisively data driven

         I’m right
                  You’re wrong
         More guns? No way!
                  Fuck you BITCH!
         Away from keyboard
         Pulling hair
         Livid
         Annihilating aggravating assholes

                           DELETE, DELETE, DELETE
