Ask Your President

A boy with no future,
robs a bank with his friend.
Hostages taken,
twelve ended up dead.
A girl with a troubled past,
brings a gun to school.
No one notices,
until she shoots-one dead.
A young arsonist,
lights a fire in the trash.
Walks away,
ninty-nine dead.
A drunk with a Jeep,
takes a cruise,
one Friday night,
a crash-five dead.
Someone asked me,
how is it possible,
that thousands of people die,
every day,
at the hands of an idiot.
I replied,
"Go ask your President."

| In a way I understand how you feel, in 1993 my brother was killed by a drunk driver; to make it worse it was a police officer on duty. Each person should be responsible for their own actions or rather there should be laws to make a person responsible. One further note: Emotionally it took a long time for me to learn to talk about my brother's death, the officer was not made to pay for his actions. For the sake of my heart I took a different stance than my family -I chose to forgive, I hope this helps. Very good poem and for me emotional. |
