Guns and Blather

I believe this 
is where we came in

News bulletin rehashing
the latest 
senseless rampage

Only the names
on the tombstones change

Interview the glazed victims

Psycho babblers
post analyze
the motives of the
deranged cowboy

Stock footage
takes us
through the thick mist
of crazed gun man history

Red stained covered corpses

Our bloody legacy

Guns and misery

Under the ancient umbrella
of second amendment liberty

Scribed during the 18th century
when musket armed citizen militias
kept the peace

The world has advanced
but our thinking
remains cave man

Shame on us all

As we mourn
and lamely
rationalize

our perpetual
shoot em up
tragedies
