RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: MASS SHOOTINGS
The Right to Kill
What is it with all these madmen?
Does it give them a twisted thrill?
The right to arms has now become
A sordid right to kill
They do not care what others think
The world belongs to them
We never asked them what they thought
Who are we to condemn?
They kill because they have the right
They kill because they can
They kill because they fear the night
Will no one understand?
There are more of them each day
They are arming to the hilt
If you ask them why they will proclaim
They have the right to kill
I did not give them weapons
I will not share the blame
But when he pulls the trigger
He does it in our name
