Arm the Teachers

ARM THE TEACHERS

Let the teachers be armed.
Lest their children be harmed?

Sir has a gun?
What fun!
What fun?

How can we live
If we know that we’ll die?
From a bullet? A knife…
Or a bomb.

It’s the second amendment
Our right to bear arms?
Read it again,
Please read it again.

Why is your issue?
A well-kept militia?
We need to protect
The state.

Not us.
