Fifty-nine victims
have died so far--
Children, lovers,
husbands, wives,
Parents, siblings,
cousins, friends….
Fifty-nine have lost
their lives
To senseless
violence: a mass shooting
In Las Vegas--a
night of hell.
And nearly 500
people
Attending the
concert were wounded as well.
Read their names;
read their stories.
They're the
innocent; they're the ones
Who faced
unspeakable horrors that
Occur when madmen
have access to guns.
No, not merely
access to guns,
But access to bump
fire stock devices.
Does the
"right" to such contraptions
Justify human
sacrifices?
Are we surprised at
the reaction?
In many a weapons showcase room
Or online site there
has been
A bump stock sales
boom!
At one time many
people thought
That Sandy Hook
would be the last straw.
Then came Orlando,
and now Las Vegas.
Somewhere there's a
serious flaw.
Donors grease the
politicians'
Palms; lobbyists
state their demands.
I would NOT want to
be
A politician with
blood on my hands.
