It’s a matter of time in the USA, It’s never a losing bet, You will see bullets flying, And people dying In another mass shooting fete. Symbolic, well-meaning gestures Like flying our flags at half-mast, Belie their design, But help to remind us Our second amendment’s half-assed. Keep your pious and false supplications, To a god that empower’d our fear, To invoke common sense In a better defense Of the things that we hold most dear. Leave the flags at half-mast until when, Mass shootings are seldom, if ever, seen, Then raise Ol’ Glory To tell a new story: We can live without fear of an AR Fifteen.

An inspiring ode to sanity, thank you Wayne. What the hell is wrong with these people!
