To Charlie Kirk's shooter.
You feared his words, the truths he dared to speak,
Believing metal could make strong voices weak.
But he was stronger than your bullet's cruel design,
His voice, a beacon, meant to ever shine.
You didn't silence him; you gave his words new might,
You didn't kill his voice; you lit a fiercer light.
You thought to end the moment, to make the passion cease,
Instead, you fanned the flames, shattered your own false peace.
Charlie still fights, for battles we all share,
His message echoes, carried on the air.
And we, who stand beside him, hear the urgent call,
We'll never back down, we'll stand through it all.

- Comment from author about the poem: This individual had a family and a life. He is no longer with us due to a disagreement over his political views. It is absolutely reprehensible. There is no place in this world for such malevolence. I am exhausted by the horrific and divisive rhetoric that is prevalent. Everyone is wishing harm on those who hold different opinions. It needs to stop. it's not right. It's unacceptable how we've become fragmented among ourselves. Change is imperative, regardless of one's sexual orientation, weight, physical attributes, race, or ethnicity. We're all human beings, possessing hearts and being someone's loved one. We all have inherent value. It's essential to cease this destructive behavior immediately.

Amen
Although I didn't like Charlie Kirks political stance at all, this is a very good poem with a clear message.
Violence doesn’t belong in politics at all. People need to talk to each other more.

A beautiful tribute to one now gone but not in memory. A mistake made by the killer, a martyr is far stronger after death than ever in life. Very nicely written with great rhyme and with a powerful and poignant message. Most lovely my friend
People should absolutely not be shot for what they believe in a country where we claim to stand for freedom of belief.
While I don’t share Charlie’s politics, I connect with the heart here: violence can never be the answer. It doesn’t end division...it deepens it. I does not heal victims, just creates countless of them. Your poem names that with clarity. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛ Thank you for sharing, my friend!
Brilliant work thanks for sharing!
i completely agree with your comments, and am glad someone had the courage to stand up, and be heard
good job
