Inspiration A girl wakes one day
And turns on the tv
Says to her family
Almost without
Feeling
Oh look
Another shooting
As it has now
Become like
Second nature
To even mutter
Those horrible words
She snaps sarcastically
I wonder how long
This time
Before the
Next one
As she shrugs it off
Sadly and angerly
But not at all
Surprised anymore
And heads out
The door
All day long
She hears people
Talking about it
Just as numbly
And used to it
As she is
Hears them argue
About the same
Damn thing
That everyone does
After this happens
Gun control
She laughs
At the the guy
Fighting for it
For the same reason
She laughs
At the guy
Fighting
Against it
She laughs
At the fact
That they are going at it
When they both know
That nothing
Not today
Not tomorrow
Will ever come of it
She walks into
Her house
After a long day
To an image
On the tv
Of the NRA
And the tea party
Screaming
You will take
My guns
Over my dead body
Which she always found
Quite interesting
Because wanting
Comprehensive
Background checks
The last time she checked
Wasn't the same
As taking away
Everyone's guns
But hey whatever
Doesn't matter
What she or
Anyone else thinks
Anyway
Because to those
Nut cases
We will
Once again
Give in
As we have
Always done before
Sickened
She goes to bed
Saddened by the reality
She just cannot flee
We have become
A country
Complient
To insanity
With no hope
It seems
For society
She cries
Herself once again
To sleep
Dreading already
What may be
Next weeks
Tragedy of the week
