Infinite Void
Every person is a glass doll
Slowly turning to powder
But sometimes they crack
Once they crack one can't go back
Because it'll just keep cracking
The stress from different sources can make the crack bigger
Until the cracking keeps going
Not just cracking but shattering
Blocks of stress being thrown
As yesterday becomes tomorrow
Tomorrow becomes three weeks ago
Delusion
Confusion
A hard tap becomes a swift crack and then they become dust
So many could have stopped the cracking before the dust
Sometimes they don't become dust, sometimes they shatter
With each sharp piece stabbing every other doll
Turning them to dust
The dying old show blame so many things
The high score like a video game
Ten turned to dust who can beat that?
A question they ask
Until it happens again
A tragedy becomes an argument
An argument becomes a tragedy
The dying show feed off the dust to keep from dying
Like a cycle that spins indefinitely, in an infinite void

I was inspired by all the school shootings. I hope media will stop reporting on them so copycats won't occur. I doubt this poem will do anything or even get featured, but I hope it does something.
