Grooming Killers

RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: POEMICS

 

Grooming Killers

 

Guns don’t kill, killers do

But killers with guns kill better

A single-shot gun or rifle

Kills better than a knife

But there’s nothing like an M-16

To take a lot of lives

 

If we’re worried about the children

Growing up in an age of death

We should take a few precautions

Before the child’s first breath

Control the entertainment games

That give a thousand thrills

Rewarding simulated violence

Engaging with the kill

 

Let’s teach kids how to live in peace

To know and love and understand

The many people in this world

Who need a helping hand

 

Teach kids not to hate

Teach them how to get along

Teach them how our many voices

Will contribute to a song

 

Now take away the weapons

Designed for use in war

Without those deadly instruments

We’d save so many more
