When You Make Toy Guns

Every last dime of news time spent

on these Connecticut kids

and what their deaths meant

I'm sickened as I listen

to these pundits as they spew

what people absorb as heart breaking news

It could be your kid

it could be mine

it's the point that they subtly

beat into your mind

the breaking news is

we're preying on your fears

and no one seems to care

When 20 kids die

we ask the question

why

and it's karma

this is what you get

when you make toy guns

this is what happens

when you make guns fun

this is no surprise

just open your eyes

and buy a gun

because the killers got one
