the assault rifles help whom exactly
fraternity of gunmen
silence from nra
the killing of innocents continues
as schools practice lockdowns
nra rules
senators vote for nra
yes yes hip hip hooray
lining their pockets with blood money
A Tale of Two Nations
Under one flag
with many stars
and even more shame
two nations to choose
Guns or Roses
One opposed to death of children
and free choice for all the women
the other revels in blood and guns
imposing their lack of morals
on us all
One Nation loves education
the other hates...and hates
banning books and that evil
Mickey mouse
comical if not so disgusting
We met with a holey ghost
Who was once Dick Cheney's host
Dick's shotgun discharged
Great holes were enlarged
"What are friends for?" means "You're toast!"
(100 Americans - including 12-children -
were shot in Chicago over the holiday
weekend, suggesting a name change
from "Chicago" to "Shooting Gallery"
might be more appropriate)
The wife was driving the Wong Wei
When she heard the sound of gunplay
Auto-da-fé
She sped away
And lived to drive another day
I'm off to the grocery store
But 'toting my old 44'
So many dead
Makes me see red!
Perhaps I can even the score!
Dear Speaker Ryan
I want to tell you something
?The dead don’t want your prayers
?The dead don’t care
that you pray for them?
They are dead after all
And you and your so-called Christians
?Are to blame?
You refuse to do anything
?Anything at all
to stop the carnage
?In our streets
The U.S. is flooded with guns
?And more are sold every day
Millions of people don’t have health coverage
?Millions are barely surviving
?And your answer?
Our dear great compassionate Speaker
Your answer?
Is Prayer works
?Government action does not
You act as if the gun violence
?Plaguing our country
?Was like the weather
?Beyond our control
Here’s my prayer for you?
And your colleagues
When you die?
I pray that God?
Will send you
And your friends
?Straight to hell
Where Satan
and his demons?
Will use you for target practice
That’s my prayer to you?
And as you know?
Prayer works
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.
Assault rifles.
We all need them.
For protection.
Let’s all get them.
Shooting each other like crazy.
Fun times!
Right NRA?
We all need them.
For protection….
Fanatical zealots goose-stepping at three o’clock
She warned her partner
Bam! Assault rifle shuts them both up for good
What did they do?
Jasper, the head of the Non-Thinking Youth Follower Committee
Asked the Head of Crazy Czar’s Security Team
I just did not like their looks, did you?
They high-fived each other
Neither wiser now but definitely feeling more powerful.
They were soon on the hunt
For others to kill
Hoping to bully their way to the top
It would be great to find a grade school
Or a laundrymat
Or a McDonald’s,
Assault rifles for everyone I say
We truly do
Need them in many social situations.
If the Parkland families are a disarming mob,
Then the NRA counter-evolutionaries
are an automated killer infestation.
Waterboarding
The NFL
Will help Trump sleep
Extremely well
The NRA
Will make amends
When Dick Cheney
Can shoot more friends
The GOP
Has set some goals
For Kim Jong-Un
To fix the Polls
The USA
May be a mess
But that would be
Trump's second guess.
Guns don't kill people
But bullets do
So keep all your guns
But make bullets taboo
Restrict cartridge sales
Like any jet flight
With proof of ID
& registered right
Limit each purchase
To registered guns
Make mothers happy
With long-living sons
Bullets kill loved ones
& people we know
So give every shooter
A tough row to hoe!
Parent boycotted schools across the USA
And not for one day
They are demanding better gun laws
Eliminating the assault weapon flaw
Military hardware is not for hunting game
Dead children is not an NRA game
Walking through the woods early in the day...
Haven’t seen a single soul passing my way...
All set to hunt as, I bought the latest gear....
On this the first hunting day of the year.....
It isn’t too cold but there’s a bit of snow...
So footprints will tell me where to go...
I can track by smell....
And I’ve been told pray tell....
That Man is getting smarter every single year..
Which means a lot... to my friends in here...
But now here’s the twist of this little ditty...
I’ve never lived or been to the city....
But trust me.. cause when I’m done..
And this is all in fun...by the end of Fall....
I’ll have a gorgeous blonde six footer ... a hanging on MY wall....
*** Just a thought...NRA = Natural Roaming Animal....
or Nasty Reindeer Association.......hmmmm
