RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GUN CONTROL
Casualties of Culture
How many dead? How many wounded?
That’s all we want to know
How many dead? How many wounded?
Our sense of helplessness grows
What if you knew them?
What if your child was dead?
Would you still say the pledge?
Would you still vote red?
We kill more people than any other nation
With our guns and our right to arms
We shed more tears for the innocent
With our guns we do more harm
We have been here many times before
And we have rarely taken action
For the countless victims of gun violence
There is no satisfaction
They wring their hands and say their prayers
They will hang their heads in mourning
They will act as if they really care
We will let that serve as warning
Nothing ever changes unless we vote
For change.
