Seventy-Seven Minutes

Seventy-Seven Minutes

A Poem by MomzillaNC
"

Uvalde

"

While Arrendondo fiddled…

Arrendondo fiddled with keys 




Seventy-seven minutes…

Parents threatened

threatened with arrest 

threatened with tasing

over the sound of screams

children's screams

and the man-child's gunshots

Parents forced to bear

forced to hear, to listen

forced for seventy-seven minutes

forced to listen to the screams

the screams… the screams… the silence

of their slaughtered children 




While Arrendondo fiddled…

Arrendondo fiddled with keys
