Deadly Rort

From my cold dead hands
The NRA and their dumb demands
How can we take them seriously
When they act so damned imperiously
If you are smart though you’ll take heed
You'll ignore the fear they strive to breed
With Fox News spreading shock and terror
We’re Consuming their garbage now more than ever
Politicians are ruthlessly sold and bought,
Meanwhile their care for us is nought
Simply self serving their own re-election sought
Acting with impunity never fearing they’ll get caught
The youth of today will see their terms cut short
A result of the deadly lesson they’ve tragically been taught
A change must result, not with a gun but with a thought
Our kids will show us the way a peaceful war is fought
So keep your guns NRA, just please use them for sport
Not to keep the money rolling in with this deadly rort.

A well penned rort indeed. I wish it wasn't so close to the truth. A strong poem, Jeff.
