Let’s Have A Sacrifice

Let’s have a sacrifice

because no one listens

and no one cares,

except for the man inside his head

who needs a headline

and a wikipedia page.

Let’s have a sacrifice

a semi-auto holds thirty

while this sidearm holds twelve,

Just enough to appease our gods

as they listen

to the sound of gunfire.

Let’s have a sacrifice,

up the altar next to the tabloids

and chewing gum,

he pays with a credit card

with twenty-five percent interest,

‘cause they don’t accept plastic in church.

Let’s have a sacrifice.

Made sure they won’t take them

from our supplicant hands,

otherwise what will you offer

along with your thoughts

and prayers.

(At some point you get really really pissed at how nothing is being done with gun violence. More children die and our leaders don't do squat! All we are asking is for common sense gun control.)
