Another morn to mourn,
turned celebration.
Will we one day celebrate
School Shooting Day ?
Or maybe NRA Day?
How can we play
on such a solemn day?
Shared memory is great
but a hot dog on a paper plate
should not take precedence
over remembrance
of what this day is for.
A day to study war no more
thanks to soldiers who gave
their all to their graves,
to save us from more days like this.
Today’s war goes unannounced
by fearful citizens who hate
the way they feel,
intimidated by the success
of those they thought to best.
So they don a Kevlar vest
and in camouflage dress
tote weapons of war
inside the door
of churches, synagogues, mosques,
schools, businesses, and grocery stores.
Name-calling as in any war
has become de riguer.
So-called Libtard Nazis who see no threat
in people of color, women and gender choice
are the latest gooks and towel heads.
War leaves a nasty taste in place
of citizenry and mutual respect.
So-called patriots ignorant of our history
ignore the blood of our honored dead
buried in poppied fields or unknown tombs.
They fight for white supremacy instead
of a country dedicated to the proposition
all men are created equal
as its starting position.
They seek to stop the race
to a more perfect union
by destroying the communion
of patriots future and past.
How long will such travesty last?

Second Amendment
The conception that unrestricted gun ownership is guaranteed by the 2d. Amendment is a false idea. from discussions recorded by those present as the Constitution was being approved and amendments voted upon indicate that the 2d. Amendment’s purpose was to allow for militias. Our militia SYSTEM is controlled by governors of each state, allowed to arm their citizens in a National Guard, under the federal government’s authority. It had nothing to do with an individual right to bear any and all arms. It was enacted to allow for state militias. Governments-local,state-federal can restrict individual gun purchases, manufacture, and ownership. The idea they cannot do so was constructed by the NRA only recently to improve gun sales, (think of the payoffs ),to sow dissension (funded by Russia), and to uphold white supremacy and control African-Americans who had gained the right to vote and gained more power after the Civil Rights Movement. Fear of people of color is ingrained in white Americans. This is a tool to manipulate us. Also, as immigrants from white Europe declined and immigrants of color increased NRA played on the fear of white Americans. Gun sales shot up. The Republican Party which in recent history opposed civil rights for African-Americans, affirmative action, integrated schools etc. embraced the NRA’s position to advance an agenda which would protect Republican vote and control of the levers of government. NRA funds support these republicans, and a few democratic politicians also accepting the easy money.
Take a moment to think about this and connect the dots. Our children should not be pawns for this white supremacy agenda. Look at the position on guns by candidates at EVERY level. Those claiming they can not do anything about gun regulation because of the 2d Amendment are liars. Vote them out. Always ask them their position on the 2d amendment. If they lie about that they are lying about a lot more. I am on my knees begging like Sen. Chris Murphy, “save our children.” Do not let white supremacy destroy the safety a single person. Do not stand by and silently watch. speak with your friends and colleagues. Beg them if necessary.
