The Elephant In the Room Guns

In watching the news coverage Of the rising crime wave There is one thing missing Everyone skirts around it No one wants to deal with it No one wants to talk about it No one wants to do anything else The elephant in the room GUNS GUNS GUNS GUNS MORE GUNS GUNS FOR EVERYONE NO LIMITS NO LICENSE GO GET A GUN The result More deaths Guns kill people That is what they Are designed to do That is the Buddha-nature Of guns after all So easy to pull the trigger Blow someone away Dead people tell no tales
MUST GET MY GUN
The elephant in the room Smiles The NRA smiles Their work is done.

There are elephants in the room and out of the room stomping all over the place, but no solution yet, how sad
