Something Widespread

Something widespread in
the United States;
children are being
shot in their schoolrooms.

Innocent kids
maimed and slaughtered,
by crazed classmates
brandishing guns.

And moms cry;
pleading for
gun control

laws, that'll
never

pass.

Bringing to light a serious subject with artful grace, Emile...I think Israel has it right, no school shootings there...tho unsavory, but works...all the schools have at least one armed security at every school, Rebublicans offered this in many bills, every one rejected by Democrats, makes no sense why they don't want to protect children...
