IT'S FOR THE GUN WE SPEAK
“We’ve tears still to be cried at night; we’ve hands still to be wrung;
The pain is now and ever for the grieving of our young
Your talk of “thoughts and prayers” sticks like bile on our tongue.”
As every white boy redneck in a truck or on a farm
Brandishes a metal penis nary care nor qualm
And bellows his assertion on his right to carry arms.
“Try not to be so selfish making out you’re so unique;
There’ll be a dozen more or so for you to grieve next week;
It isn’t for the children but it’s for The Gun we speak”
“Perhaps if every teacher in each class could wear a gun
Or maybe if each child could take to school his daddy’s gun”
Does nothing make you think that you’re addicted to The Gun?
From Sandy Hook in Newtown that took place ten years ago
To ten years later murder of ten blacks in Buffalo
And now today Uvalde.
Have you learned much?
Fuck No.

JC - do remember that in this country government offered salutary condign punishment in exchange for the act of the
population in giving up their firearms back in the day when they
were .- and for countless years had been - lawfully held. Check
for example, old f/arms cunningly disguised in various ways..
But in typical deceitful political style, the protection of the law
has been steadily eroded down the years until it now merely
pays lip service to punishment and, instead, offers huge
satisfaction to the "we are all guilty" brigade who see no evil and hear no evil. let alone admit that evil actually exists! The,
US on the other hand, has a somewhat less gullible attitude to what is promised and rigorously defends their enshrined citizens rights., whatever the cost in sporadic albeit tragic individual terms. Their evolution was far quicker - and harsher
as a consequence - and they are prepared to pay its cost...from the
fight for independence through various
subsequent conflicts across its vast
continent in a relatively short period of history, always mindful of all the many sacrifices made along the way.
