Welcome to My Poetry Site
Where Is Your Head, Mr. Ryan?
Paul Ryan can't understand
President Obama's breakdown and tears
When he discusses Sandy Hook.
I can't believe my eyes and ears!
If the death of twenty children
Doesn't move you, you have shown,
Mr. Ryan, by words and actions
That you must have a heart of stone.
Of course ALL shootings are sad,
But at Sandy Hook Americans saw
That twenty kids had been riddled with bullets.
Shouldn't that be the very last straw?
An executive order to close gun show loopholes
And expand background checks should improve
Our chances of stopping SOME shootings,
Since Congress has failed to make a move.
"Tyrant!" some shout. "Unconstitutional!"
Others say, "The tears are fake."
"An attack on law-abiding citizens!"
We hear that nonsense from many a flake.
Ryan says the president's trying
To turn our heads from issues that are real.
Making America safer for all:
THAT's what I would call a square deal.
