Martyrs

How many more of
Our children will we
Make martyrs before
We take away guns
From those unfit
To carry them,
Hiding behind the
Second Amendment
Is wearing thin and
In any case it is to
Assure a militia for defense,
Not to arm any nitwit
Who has the money.
So simple to require
Anyone who wants
To own a fire arm
Be part of a trained militia
And properly instructed
In the civics, ethics,
Use and care of
Fire arms to protect
Our children.
Midas I knew we were,
Substituting material objects
For time together and
Close attention,
Turning our children
Into dead gold images,
But we are also
Armed and on a
Pale horse and
Are death.
