Just got distracted by another school shooting
This one where I live, the second in two years
Governor, senators, and representatives say
“We pray for the families and students”
I do not hear them ever get serious about fostering
Bigger and better conversations about gun control
Perhaps enacting some new laws one day
To prevent the ease by which some kids kill
Nothing to be done
No changes to be made
How am I complicit?
How to make sense of such inaction?
Oh, the gun lobby and NRA and all those people
Who want to keep guns for protection
BUT allowing their young children to find them
And destroy themselves and others
Or better yet, the parents who buy guns
For adolescent sons whose brains aren’t
Fully formed and who often make deadly decisions
No small matters
