I’m tired
of hearing screams and cries
seeing people distraught
and running into fear
from fields of war like
Georgetown…New Town…
Kent State…Columbine…
Virginia Tech…and Boston
I’m tired
of seeing
teddy bears and bouquets
candlelight vigils
for those we’ve lost
tragedy striking
at such high cost
I’m tired
of seeing America
ripped into shreds
by people who dread
to keep the peace
our Second Amendment
rights being shot to hell
our minute-men
didn’t hesitate to
shoot to kill
the Revolutionary war
set us free
what indeed are we waiting for
I’m tired
