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.
