What’s wrong with the world today?
Every time I turn around
Someone in love with the trigger
Innocent lives falling to the ground
Bullets flying through the air
Shopping malls and schools
A crazed shooter who got a gun
Working his trade with his tools
You know it’s true
No one understands
Has the world gone crazy?
Blood on someone’s hands
And the NRA stands its ground
Defending the right to carry
But how will they feel
When it’s their child they bury
We all need a compromise
Where innocent lives are saved
Gun laws that work
Where new safe roads are paved
“Don’t blame me”
The guilty ones always scoff
The problem won’t get fixed until
We take the blindfolds off

Love your poem. It speaks the truth. Until the blindfolds come off, the finger pointing stops. Maybe things will change. They have too. America can't continue down this path. So many innocent lives lost.
If changes aren't made to protect innocent lives, there will more than likely be another Civil War in the U.S. Thank you Jeannie for reading and your comment.
A very reflective poem that revolves around a recurring issue. A very pathetic situation where people are killed mercilessly 😔 Thankyou for this poem!
Thank you Judy. Appreciate your visit. 😉
Powerful words AP and the lines
"But how will they feel
When it’s their child they bury"
are so meaningful.

Thanks Andy. It just seems so senseless that we can't seem to end this problem. I fear that it's only going to get worse.
