Well, Shoot

 

Today someone was shot.

I live in America.

In America

someone is shot every day.

 

At least one person dies

every day

in my state.

Many people are shot

in my country every day

 

because I live in America

land of the brave.

And you’d better be brave

because tomorrow

you may be the one

to get shot.                                                   

Election 2020

How dare you
bring your guns and your god
to the voting booth.
Take your threats
and your devotion to hate
they have no place here.
Fold them carefully
and put them into a box
and store it on the
highest shelf
in the back of your closet.
This is no longer acceptable.
It never was, but
the man behind the curtain
tried to make to believe
it was.
You were fooled, taken in.
We forgive you,
but now you know better,
so do better.
Put away your hate and your ammo
and pull the blinders from your eyes.
Welcome back to sanity,
to humanity.
