Never in my life had I seen such horror
unfold before my very eyes on the screen
that one person barged in like a wild ogre
spraying bullets like a well trained marine.
This was no professional, merely a young boy
unable to control his mind and trigger finger
hell bent on a wicked path to seek and destroy
waging an attack on our lives and very culture.
We all point our fingers, eager to lay blame
for shootings going in theatres and schools
while our media showers the shooter in fame
and congress is unwilling to change any laws.
People need to wise up and finally get a clue
gun control is possible, but there is much to do.
