Every time a
shooting occurs,
We shake our heads
in disbelief.
Subsequent dialogues
reach
An impasse that further deepens our grief.
Democrats insist
that current
Gun laws are not
strict enough--
An idea that many
Republican
Lawmakers firmly
rebuff.
Those same
Republicans
Choose to exercise
their might
In protecting what
they consider
Americans' Second
Amendment right.
Democrats, in
disagreement,
Counter with
increasing frustration
That aspects of the
Second Amendment
Leave much room for
interpretation.
"This is not
the time," some say,
"For lengthy
discussions on gun control."
And once again we
find ourselves
Going down the
rabbit hole.
Gun violence here is
inter-
Nationally
unparalleled.
A vicious circle
perpetuates
A tragedy that's
unexcelled.
Guns in the wrong
hands we know
Will have violent
repercussions.
The only way to
solve the problem
Will come from
having healthy discussions.
If we maintain the
status quo,
Read the writing on
the wall:
Death and violence
will increase
If no action is
taken at all.
