The Elephant In the Room Guns
In watching
the news coverage
Of the rising crime wave
There is one thing missing
Everyone skirts around it
No one wants to deal with it
No one wants to talk about it
No one wants to do anything else
The elephant in the room
GUNS
GUNS
GUNS
GUNS
MORE GUNS
GUNS FOR EVERYONE
NO LIMITS
NO LICENSE
GO GET A GUN
The result
More deaths
Guns kill people
That is what they
Are designed to do
That is the Buddha-nature
Of guns after all
So easy to pull the trigger
Blow someone away
Dead people tell no tales
MUST
GET
MY
GUN
The elephant in the room
Smiles
The NRA smiles
Their work is done.
