Don’t Talk To Me
Don’t talk to me about thoughts and prayers.
Don’t talk about God.
Don’t even talk about guns.
I don’t want to hear about lives wasted
Or about the second amendment
Or about safe spaces or training teachers.
Say no more about mental health
Or a broken political system.
And not about Australia, either.
Don’t talk to me about freedom and democracy.
Don’t waste breath or words.
Don’t talk at me.
