Poem Title:
Poem
How many times does it take, Before death isn't seen? Where this wave of rampant shootings, Will open minds that can convene. This basic legal premise, has Evolved with little in its wake. As states control its usage, While a nation suffers heartache. There's no simplicity to an answer, Only a convoluted complexity all around. With a range of, 'more is better' to 'Less is needed', to keep all safe & sound. While its constitutionality is firmly entrenched, Can ownership be somehow reserved? Where common sense won't trample the NRA, And they can live with those most deserved. Because if we look at the simple facts, this Powerful group cares nothing of law, only sales. While manufacturing the love of the 2nd amendment, With little time spent on murderous details. So what solutions are possibly out there, That may aid in this time of distress? Such that real progress can be seen & measured, And senseless killings become truly, far less. Causal roots have been unearthed & discovered, Yet rarely acted upon with a firm resolve. As time tends to add to forgetfulness, and Other distractions add more to dissolve. So it is here I'll propose some ideas, where Common sense is the road to be used. With a goal of increased security, while Liabilities can be reduced and recused. Starting with age as a common thread, the Age of 18 or 21 is constantly bantered about. My thoughts involve complete licensing, Certifying their competency to own, with less doubt. Secondly, the securing of these weapons needs to be Addressed, so they're not lent or stolen, back & forth. And with bio-metrics to add responsibility, This can lessen those fears, south to north. There are surely more ideas that can be Discussed, and lead to compromise. Then maybe some actions would help to insure, That lives were saved, in those youthful eyes.
