Mass shooting in Las Vegas. 50+ dead

[Brian37]

The Perch, by Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter).
 
It's not about rights
It's about marketing fear
Decade after decade
Year after year
 
A clock tower
He went atop
Murderd several
It never stops
 
Happy Meals
In San Ysidro
21 dead
Made my yearbook
 
Galleghar's act
Smashes a watermellon 
In a grade school
Without warning
 
The originalist
Live a lie
To sell more and do nothing
Everything will be fine
 
It's not about rights
It's always been about money
Violence sells weapons
The factories make profits
 
They shout
"It's the mentally ill"
Then run from their argument
When we agree to do something
 
They shout
"It's the criminals"
Then run from their arguments
When we agree to do something
 
They shout 
"It's the terrorists"
But the truth for the makers
It's always about profits
 
36 floors up
Just like in Texas
A disturbed person
Had easy access
 
I am beyond sick
When they say
"Keep them out of the wrong hands"
Then scream when we agree.
 
It is nothing short
Of indoctrination
Obsession of an object
Abandoning reason
 
36 thousand
Die from use
In every fasion
You can think of
 
Month after month
Year after year
Decade after decade
They close their ears
 
Follow the money
If you want the truth
It is about profits
Not telling the truth
 
I've written prose
On gun violence before
I want to see the day
When I don't write anymore.
