Poems about the assassination of Charlie Kirk

Disclosure: I am not a republican and didn't agree with Charlie Kirk's political opinions, and even so, I don't condone violence in any manner. A week after Charlie Kirk's death, here are the poems I wrote on 9/10/25 after hearing of his death.

Death is devastating

Violence is disheartening

Political violence is infuriating

It shouldn’t matter what your political stance is

Shouldn’t matter if you agree or not

Violence is never the answer

We shouldn’t praise a murderer

It’s demeaning

This second one is supposed to sound like new anchors talking about his death. One day, I think it'd be cool to patch together new anchors actually saying these things into a video. I feel that would be very powerful.

Blood gushing from his neck

Shot in Utah

Charlie Kirk declared dead at hospital

Murderer unknown

All over social media

Bullet casings with memes

He’s a martyr

People are glad he’s dead

It’s shaken the country

A turning point of this century

The point of no return

Political violence is being normalized

September 10th 2025

and here's the last one:

I don’t agree with Charlie Kirk

On almost anything

Still, I don’t want him dead

And I don’t want to hear your reasons for “why”

He died because of how easy it is to get a gun listened

He died because of the radical left

He died because of there were hikes in his security

He died because he rage baited too much

It was coming for him

He died as karma for what he said about gun deaths

I don’t care if none of all of these are true

Death is death

Violence is unacceptable

We can disagree with someone’s views and still not celebrate their death

He was 31

With 2 young daughters and a wife at home

Don’t celebrate violence

It’s scary enough already

We don’t need to encourage it

Our country's in disarray. I don't know if we can come back from this, but I very much hope so.
