my guns, by God

life expectancy dropping
in the g-o-o-d o-l-d US of
A like winter temperatures

drug overdoses rising
like a dick on viagra

the choir of hate grows
like death metal poison
ivy in our elected leaders

evangelical churches
preach love while
shoving the barrel of
a gun down the throat
of anyone who is
gay, lesbian, bi, trans,
queer

the bodies of freedom,
choice, democracy
hang from trees along
the road less taken

homeless pile up on
the streets like heeps
of garbage without a
lid

but you know, it's all
their fault. If they
would have had a
better work ethic,
then they could have
turned life around...

if
only
they
would
have
tried
just
a
little
bit
harder

medical care only
fit to euthanize a
dog

perfect lives of
suicide on Facebook

(porn is more fun to
 watch)

dead babies lying in
a school hallway

wring hands,
wring hands,

Oh what can the
answer be!

WAIT! I know...

more guns,

by God...
