Jake Aller Poet Political Verse

Mr President It Is a Gun Situation

Mr. President?
You are wrong once again?
You said that the tragic events 
in Texas?,Ohio, Virgina Beach
And Las Vegas 
were not “gun situations”

?But rather were mental health problems
And that in Texas
 if there had been no gun controls
?Perhaps fewer people would have died

As the NRA says
the only solution to a bad guy with a gun
is a good guy with a gun

Mr. President
?I know you a smart man?
The smartest man in the world
?According to you

Please contemplate this fact
?According to the latest findings
?It is a gun situation

In fact, the reason the U.S.
?Has so many gun deaths?
Is because we have so many guns
?45% of the worlds guns in fact

And 33 percent of the world’s shooters
?Are Americans killing other Americans
And most of them 
the majority of them?
Are White men killing other people

Minorities and women
are almost never the shooters
a strange metaphor but true

Not Islamic terrorists?
Most are in fact?Self-proclaimed Christians
Somehow thinking that Jesus
will approve of their actions
and forgive them their sins

Mr. President?
When will you 
come to your senses

And do what 90 percent
 of the public wants?
Enact nation wide effective gun controls?


And tell the NRA
?they can take their blood money 
elsewhere
When Mr. President
?When will you act
?When will you take charge
And become a President of the people
?Instead of the NRA's ?

note: this may be too political and in your face but I don't care. I have had enough of this nonsense. We must stop the carnage in our streets! That’s my two cents worth and I am sticking to my guns pun very much intended.
