Yet Another School Shooting. School shootings are becoming regular affairs. For a twisted mind, killing children Has a similar lustful draw as to that of pornography. Those in Congress who refuse to vote against guns of any sort, Do so, simply, for fear of the gun industry As well as for losing votes from constituents Who interpret the Second Amendment Far from what the original writers would have allowed, With a State Armory to hold state (not private) weapons. We are frozen in a tragic, deadly deadlock. Frank Maurer 30 August 2025 0935 Hours.
