Dumbfounded

Dumbfounded

When 50 people die

In the blink of an eye

Through the actions of one 

Crazy guy

You have to wonder why such 

Guns are so easy to buy, so 

You can begin to sigh

And ask what will defy

The right to buy 

A weapon of mass destruction

Imagine the transaction

}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

"Good morning I would like to buy 

A Rock River A-15 

Don't ask me why, 

I'm going pigeon hunting

Rabbit hunting

Perhaps some deer"

}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

And it's all a lie

When 50 people die

In the blink of an eye

Through the actions of one 

Crazy guy

Dear God

To wake up to this news today

To hear what the media say

Dumbfounded!

A poem that rings with the truth.

Well done Jai.  As a life long hunter I so relate to third stanza. 

Keep up the write, to right wrong, brother.

Better mental health assessment 

is urgently needed; too many people

untreated & unloved; or pure mad;

where was his treatment? 

What is his history, I give up 

thanx Kimmy & 

luv from Jai:)

I didn't feel good writing the poem

or the next one but felt compelled 

prob won't sleep tonight 

knowing I can go out for a night 

of fun and wind up dead 

through madness. I give up

on humanity when I read the news.
