Jack Cooper Poet Rhyme

For Grieving Families It's Much Too Late

I grew up believing America is so great
Only to learn that its people live in a divided state
So many innocent loved ones dying at an alarming rate
Why won't congress put assault weapons on their plate
For grieving families, it's much too late
Why must the American people have to wait
For lawmakers to get it straight

Special interest money opening the flood gate
Politicians playing with the innocent's fate
Backsliding always allowed to skate
The American people need to dictate
Our solution that wipes Washingtons slate
On how we govern our states

To ban assault weapons that only devastate
So we can decelerate and no longer tolerate
All of these shooters twisted hate
By letting our lawmakers know we will terminate
Sending our message we won't allow them to negotiate
This epidemic sending our loved ones to heavens gate.

Gershon Wolf September 10, 2019 at 3:49 PM People keep sending the same clowns back to Washington, election after election. Nothing will change this way, and even if it does, the succeeding election will undo it all: Witness Trump's rollback of most of what Obama did. Bottom line: We can't depend on government for anything, because it doesn't deliver! ~ Gershon
