Even If I Am Over the Hill

Even If I Am Over the Hill What I will always desire Is whole world to inspire Have goals higher then I aspire Use all my skills in their entire. Rid world of guns that are plunder In a disguise have all fallen under Which has made us all wonder Why anyone would do a blunder. Suddenly on us started to dawn What we earned was all gone Part of game maybe a con In Satan's clutches are a pawn. Gun possessed by a moron Many lives he did abscond And hard times we fell upon Of them we were never fond. A helicopter we had rented Slowly started and descended And by us it was not intended Warranty expired that was extended. So this all of us it did appall We were left with nothing at all And it sure took a lot of gall No guns sold in shopping mall. Why would anyone have fun Running around with a gun Look at what they have done In sight almost killed everyone. Congress should create a bill With gun no longer can kill And prophecy we must fulfil No guns even if over the hill. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran and Poet

Lake Washington is where I used to live near to in Kirkland, WA. World is getting to be a catastrophe looking for a place to happen.
