GUNS

I WROTE THIS THE DAY AFTER GABRIELLE GIFFORD WAS SHOT BY JARED LEE LOUGHNER ON JANUARY 8, 2011. I HAVE REPEATED IT WITH EVERY MASS MURDER SINCE. THIS TIME IT’S THE KILLINGS AT UC, SANTA BARBARA. . WE NEED SERIOUS GUN CONTROL IN THIS COUNTRY.

"THE GUNS" IS WRITTEN IN THE STYLE AND RHYTHM OF EDGAR ALLEN POE'S "THE BELLS".

The guns 

Life exists at the edge with THE gun!

Wretched gun!

What a world of vitriol, their melody has begun!

how they ring out hate, hate, hate,

In the icy air of fate! 

While the pistol shots are flashing,

All the victims shot are crashing,

to the shooter's ghoulish THRASHING,

 

RINGING OUT shot, AFTER shot, AFTER shot,

like a  RAT-A-TATA, RAT-A-TATA, TOT!

 

To thAT tin-TIn-Nabu-la-tion

that so rhy-thm-i-cally stuns,

From the guns, guns, guns, guns,

guns, guns, guns, guns, guns! 

From the MAIMING  and the killing OF the guns!
