Poetry Corner: Bobby Richardson “NRA, We’ve Had Enough”

May 4, 2018 by Bobby Richardson Leave a Comment

We’ve heard all your lies.
Had Enough!
Your psychotic alibis.
Had Enough!
On our children’s backs is a bullseye!
Had Enough!

Your motto is kill and let die.
Shame on you!
You’re nothing but a killing tool.
You’ll get your due!
We should have listened to your plan.
Shame on us.
You warned us, “from your cold dead hands.”
But In Congress, we Trusted.
You’re the ISIS in this nation.
Had Enough!
Posterity will judge you, a terrorist organization.
Had Enough!
But now we see your goal.
Had enough!
Our fight is new, not old.
Had Enough!
NOW WE DEMAND GUN CONTROL!!!
Had enough! Had Enough!!Had Enough!!!
