GOOD MOURNING TO YOU
GOOD MOURNING TO YOU
Good mourning to you,
Good mourning to you,
You’re kids are all dead,
They’ve been shot in the head,
Good mourning to you.
Good mourning to you,
Good mourning to you,
We wish it was other,
But we dare not piss off the NRA, brother,
Good mourning to you.
Good mourning to you,
Good mourning to you,
We can fix this right quick,
Give every six year old an AR with a 30-round clip!
Good mourning to you,
Good mourning to you,
We’ve hardened the schools,
With all our high-tech tools,
Good mourning to you.
Good mourning to you,
Good mourning to you,
It’s happened again, there was nothing we could do,
Deeply rooted, this kind of thing just happens under the red, white and blue,
Good mourning to you.
Good mourning to you,
Good mourning to you….
About this poem
Sadly inspired by the latest mass shootings, this poem tries to express the lunacy of our responses to same through imagery and by mimicking a familiar melody from a nursery rhyme.
