heartbroken

mr. hope & change is saddened again,
as just a few weeks ago the nation mourned
the deaths of those blown away in a movie
theater,
now a skinhead takes out 6 in a Wisconsin
Sikh temple &
yet the refrain is the same---
not only will he not address the real issues at
hand,
he sends his little babbling bird, mr. carney,
out to do the dirty work,
telling us that it’s the gangs that kids are
joining, which lead to these violent
outbursts,
and when they start to piss out their mouths,
these talking heads whose strings are
pulled by the gun lobby in the US,
they start to dabble in the most inhuman
nonsense,
for we all know the statistics,
we all know that in the UK, the homicide rate
due to firearms
is ridiculously low in comparison to this land
of motherfucking
cowboys,
who sleep with a goddamned six-shooter
beneath their mattresses &
yet because this empire is based on violence,
the violence it spreads all over the globe,
the violence that it beats down on its citizens
with,
is it any wonder that once in a blue moon,
somebody ends up killing a bunch of people
with a gun they got on the internet while
simultaneously playing a video game?
so “how many deaths will it take till’ we know?”
maybe if somebody goes on a rampage
every couple of weeks?
hmmm….ya think then that charlie heston & the
boys will stop jacking off &
rethink their policies?
maybe if there is a rampage every week,
mr. hope & change will get off his ass &
actually do something, regardless of how far
off november is?

don’t hold your fucking breath.
