I Cannot Picture This

Picture this.
Governor of a big state.
With a bigger ego.
Tells a BIG lie.

He gets caught.
Because parents were there
Trying to save children
Who were texting for help

While nineteen lawmen were held back
By whom?
By what?
I cannot picture this.

Who put themselves immediately in harm’s way…courageous teachers, that’s who…and also why they deserve respect.

We have a lot of these nowadays; more in government though. That was a sick way for him to handle things. Well said.

Me neither. And it has me heartbroken. I think you can probably tell by my latest poems on gun control. I still find it all somewhat unbelievable.
