For Wayne LaPierre and Uncle Sam

What is stronger—the mind or the gun? Yes, the gun can shoot at point blank range

But the mind made the gun—No different than the egg who made the chicken—

A genetic SNAFU, whose controversy caused bangs and made the people crazed.

“Guns don’t kill people,                         people kill people”           

you say. But if the                                     mind made the gun,

Then the ones to fear                                     are the minds

who promote that the guns be mainstreamed.

But their criminal intent

has been absolved

by their corporate lobbying,

by their inordinate sum of power,

and by our outdated constitution.

So I am sorry Uncle Sam,

People do kill people. And

the people whose hand you

shake, the one whose palms

are sopping with blood,

Is that of the N.R.A.

In case I need to spell it out for you:

By virtue of this logic,

They are the people who kill people.

Bang. Bang.
