Think
Two neighbors dead
Over snow shoveling
Another neighbor committed the killing
Gun violence is such a common occurrence
Only one media outlet reported the thing
The next day it’s forgotten
How senselessly horrendous
Why don’t Americans think and question
How many innocent lives have paid for the so called Second Amendment
What do people need guns for if not to kill
Yes, guns don’t kill people do
But people can’t kill so instantly and finally with bare hands
Flesh and blood has no defense against a killing instrument
Why are gun rights more important than people’s lives
Do the gun lobbies have any conscience
Can anyone enjoy the profit made by human blood
Should anyone
Think American think
