Requiem For Uvalde - ON WRITING AND RUNNING

There were no good guys with a gun
There were no battles to be won
Money spent went down the drain
All that’s left were dried blood stains
The police were good with pepper spray
When it came to guns, no hope, just pray
The NRA just rules this nation
There is no hope for our salvation
Constituents no longer matter
Republicans have a different master
Dollar signs and violence
Conspiracies with no evidence
Your children are just cannon fodder
Say goodbye to son and daughter
Save the fetus for daily classes
Where they’ll be used as target practice
The guns are meant to cull the herd
Thoughts and prayers are just absurd
There’s no cloud being who can protect you
Only bullets that will eject you
Lifelong sorrows and agony
For what’s left of your family
