RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GUN CONTROL
Angry Men
We breed angry men in this country
Like they breed cheese in France
Like they breed horses in Kentucky
Like golfers on the Texas plains
Like ballplayers in Puerto Rico
We cultivate them from the cradle
We nourish them on entitlement
We embitter them with injustice
We embolden them with glory
We trigger them with rage
When they ready to explode
We offer no compassion
We offer no understanding
We offer no means of cooling down
We offer no pause for reflection
We give them guns and ammunition
We give them weapons of mass destruction
We give them military killing machines
We give them media of hate and rage
We point them the way to glory
And feign outrage when they kill
