A Poem: “Not A Toy Story”

 

Guns in the U.S.

are getting out of hand.

 

Stricter regulations must be set, enforced.

 

Owning high-powered assault rifles

– capable of killing 5 police officers

in Dallas, Texas,

20 children

in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut,

or 49 people

at a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida –

should be limited to only those who

graduated elementary school,

able to name at least two American presidents,

and

haven’t been to North Korea in the past 10 years.
