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
