Barbara Peckham Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

My opinion!

 

Terrorists Within

Build a border wall
So terror can’t get in.
Bury your heads in sand
Against terrorists within.

Massacres at concerts,
Massacres in schools,
Massacres in churches,
Who are all the fools?

Where are the protestors, 
Where the loud outcry?
Where are those elected
To keep us safe, and why?

Money from the NRA
Is needed more than lives
Party solid, arm-in arm,
Backed by oft-told lies.

There are automatic rifles -  
Of guns there is a host - 
AR-15s and others
To kill and maim the most.

Let them sell in gun shows,
Where restrictions are benign.
Never mind their history,
Ignore the warning signs.

Just let every citizen 
Be armed up to the chin
So we can have more massacres
From terrorists within.

L Milton Hankins July 31, 2021 at 6:40 PM Wise words which needed to be expressed...and, I might add, disseminated as widely as possible. Why can't we have stricter gun regulation and control. I do not know; nor, I think, do our legislators. It does go back to the money! Barbara Peckham July 31, 2021 at 7:46 PM Money, ignorance and power, the roots of evil!
