There are many responsible gun owners out there. What the US needs to do is enforce the laws we have and don't allow those who don't meet the requirements access to those guns. Thank you for the wonderfully written poems

The trouble is how does one police the hearts of men or children who hate and have the best available weapons to destroy as many as they want? As capital punishment doesn't stop murder, law enforcement doesn't stop crime, the guns must go. There's stabbings here, but one is limited in killing with knives, don't you see Barbara, I understand your difficulty. But when kids are dying in schools because of guns, one life is too many, we don't have any shootings in schools.
But bless you, you are a lovely, gentle person, but so many aren't, we have awful people here as well, bless you girl, HNY.
Comment from Begin Again
Greed drives the gun manufacturer's to manipulate politics in their favor with little or no regard for the lives lost and families destroyed by grief because of the reckless use of guns. In our country, so many have automatic weapons and declare themselves hunter.... what pray are they hunting? Instead children and others are mowed down by the bullets.
it's past the stage of sad....

Hello Roy. Your deep and philosophical verse was well written and presented in a wise and well thought out manner. We live in such a violent world now that a lot of 'bad guys' claim righteous superiority so that they can do evil. Great job on this one!

Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Roy,
This is a great subject to bring up. Too many children die in school shootings. I don't understand the mentality of the person doing the shooting. I am an advocate for people being allowed to own guns. Every one blames the gun, but it's the person. You could ban guns, but the criminals are still going to find a way to get them.
Well done my friend

Well said Roy
We never seem to learn and continue on this terrible path of greed and hate.
No wonder the world is in such a state . War seems so pointless and many innocent die
Your god has a big task on his hands but it shouldn't be his job it is mans problem
Your poem speaks for many
Stay safe
Cheers Chrisxx

I stand with you here, gun laws are way out of hand, some say they are needed for protection against evil, to me they seem to invite evil, very well written with a powerful message,
well done, Roy, ****kahpot

Comment from Carol Clark2
Yes, we struggle here in the U.S. with guns that fall into the hands of the wrong people. Sadly, we had another school shooting last week, this one in a Christian school, by a student who shot himself after killing and wounding others. The violence is so senseless. Thanks for sharing. Blessings. Carol

Comment from tempeste
Ciao, this describes the situation in Gaza...
The Holy Land where Jesus was born is drenched in blood.
Not even on Christmas Day did the IDF stop the bombing.
42,000 dead , 17,000 were children have been killed since the start of the war.
And now the population is being starved on purpose.
Doctors who have been to Gaza , have reported once back in America how the IDF does not allow meds to enter.
Water and electricity has been cut off.
Food is rotten on trucks that have been denied entry into Gaza
I know what happened on the 7th of October 2023 was horrific but the killing in Gaza of innocent children must stop.
The world turns a blind eye but God hears their cries and sees them die.
Zionist Netanyahu will not escape God's judgment.

Comment from Jesse James Doty
I hear what you are saying but I found a typo in verse three, fourth line, where it says demand the wrath there is an extra letter that shouldn't be there.
Otherwise, the point is very clear you do not like guns and war and I agree neither do I. Jesus wouldn't want children to be shot in the playground or any other place in school.
Thanks for bringing up this important issue.
