A Point of View

If you should glimpse a nipple in the “Good old USA”
You’ll lose all grip on reason as your morals float away,
If you sip a glass of shandy you are on the road to hell
But buy a nice machine gun “Hey that’s swell!”
If you let you darling children near a chocolate Kinder egg
You’re a heartless murdering bastard and we hope you lose a leg
Please don’t think of getting married if you happen to be gay
But carry your own arsenal, that’s OK
You’re abused or raped and pregnant that’s a glorious gift from god
If you want a chance to end it then you’re evil, crass and odd
But buy guns to shoot at dozens fully automatic death
We will smile and say “of course sir” and not even miss one breath.
Take the first and fourth amendments, inconvenient and bad
Use the fifth because it suits you you’re a terrorist and mad
But the second must be twisted to permit to nth degree
The right to slaughter children in this nation of the free!
Author notes
I’m not an American. So in a sense I have no right to comment, but I am a human
being, and the death of one innocent victim anywhere in the world diminishes
me. Other nations have arms in the hands of the populous, I believe in
Switzerland the rate is higher than in the US but we don’t see mass shootings
in Switzerland every couple of weeks. We, the rest of the people of the World,
think you are stark staring mad!
