Assault Weapons Are For War

Why this inhumane suffering A constant tale of slaughtering Innocents who die Forever in the earth to lie. Do we need to see far more All that suffering and gore Lives of children cut so short Simple targets used for sport. Voices shout that guns don't kill But every day the headlines shrill Another victim and far more So many names we can't keep score. Assault weapons are for war Inflicting wounds that burst with gore When will we all say 'enough' A word too many find so tough. If there's one thing we need to grasp The burning question we must ask Is our indifference complicit With so much misery explicit. While we posture and debate Lifeless bodies lie prostrate Have they truly died in vain For a freedom quite insane?
