Madness

How can it be?
That sales have increased,
People want to protect themselves,
Now children are deceased.

I just don't get it!
I just don't understand!
The logic of arming oneself,
Guns should be banned.

If it wasn't for guns,
Those children would be alive.
So why buy more,
Of what you cannot survive?

I've said it before
And I'll say it again
Amend the second amendment
Don't let them die in vain.

A Love Forbidden

The love that's unfolded, The love that we share, makes me wonder does god even care. Although I'm in sin, too deep to live, my heart sinks like water from a sieve.

Couldn't agree more 😔

Definite agreement! 👍

Great poem👏 I'd hazard a guess that the reason for the increase in gun sales is 'cause people are afraid that Obama will get rid of them😒

@Stablish @minxyMolly @Blueblotts sorry I'm still ranting about this but its catch 22 isn't it. Why can't they see it. It saddens me deeply and enrages me at the same time. 😔

@Blueblotts I hope he has the balls to do it. 👍

@eddie12309 no I think your right to have a rant at it, it's disgusting and feels like those buying the guns are ignorant fools, I hope as well Obama changes it for the better

@minxyMolly @eddie12309 Agree with you both. It has actually been proven that if you posses a gun in your house you're more likely of being shot. I really hope Obama will see sense but the gun associations are so damn influential in America that it's pretty unlikely😓 I'm with you on this one...GRRRRRRR

It's disgusting isn't it...I really hope he amends it 😔 great write hun 👏👏👏

Very powerful stuff man!

Nuts ain't it? They're the first to be all upset when some loon goes on a kill crazy rampage but try to amend the 2nd? No sir-eee! ☕Great write hun and good evening ❤

@letslive1959 thanks for reading.

@leelee101 maddening. 😔

So sad

@eddie12309 Agree... No guns = No shooting... One child lost is too many, the grown ups should have sorted this long, long ago...

@Barknbite indeed. 😔
