A Super Bowl celebration parade
In an elated Kansas City
No one saw it coming
Everyone ecstatic from football victory
Suddenly shots rang out
Sending screaming people scrambling
Confusion infecting hundreds
The celebration ending
Life threatening shots
From a shooters gun
So brave to pull the trigger
Then the coward turns to run
How many must die?
Because of gun laws that don’t work
A holiday of Valentine’s Day
A love for guns by jerks
There was a time
When guns were needed
But that was a long time ago
Now a crazed world, the guns have seeded
How many more deaths?
How many more graves?
How many more excuses?
Why is gun killing culture praised?
To take a life
A challenge to some
Pull the trigger
Where the bullet comes from
Care not
Of the life you kill
It’s more about satisfaction
You crave the thrill
The judicial system
Is geared in your favor
You’ll spend not a day in jail
But in psych ward you’ll savor
What is so hard
About gun control?
When another life is gone
Another beautiful soul
