"Angel With A Shotgun"

A poetic commentary on "rape culture."

"Angel With A Shotgun"

Crisp and clean,

A perfect Christian pristine,

With rosary beads stringed together with pearls,

White as purity and perfectly soft curls.

At first glance you see an angel,

But there are things only the skeletons in the closet can tell.

There is a sensual crimson underneath that crucifix,

Underneath her bosom lie all her tricks.

The supple fingers and hungry tongues,

Creeping up her neck,

Begging to take the air from her lungs.

Abusing her body with careful precision,

Placing into her being a quick incision,

For Jesus’ golden girl had fallen from grace,

But that’s only what is evident in adversity’s face.

In her eyes,

She is screaming,

Her fright teeming.

They say she asked for it alright,

But are you truly when a blouse is just a little too tight?

On the way to Sunday school,

When he plucked her from the pickings like the devil’s tool.

Though all they will ever see is a slut.

The fanatics praising the Lord to let her rot.

For the world never sees the truth or accepts it no less,

Nobody will believe it was without her consent.

So now the scene shifts,

Just two years later,

With a trigger finger on the ready,

And tears in both eyes,

No longer could she hear all the lies.

Slut,

Cunt,

Whore,

No more…

And as a bang hit the heavens, the Lord took her in his arms,

Weeping for his daughter, with all her wits and charms.

For the world would only see her as a rotting corpse,

But truly she was just an angel with a shotgun,

So desperately hurt.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
