Battling It Out in the Voting Booth
As word spreads across the country,
The Never Again movement expands;
And while that happens, one thing is clear:
We have a huge fight on our hands.
The NRA, which represents
Gunmakers and NOT gun owners,
Lately has become one of
Our politicians' principal donors.
When Wayne LaPierre* and Marion Hammer**
Envision more guns on the street or at school,
The two of them--like Pavlov's dogs--
Smack their lips and start to drool.
Working hard in Florida
To avoid commonsense regulations
Of guns, gun lobbyists are
Expanding their base of operations.
Congressman Matt Gaetz,
Also lives among the ones
In some bizarre fantasy world
Where the solution is always more guns.
Pushing the NRA agenda,
They say, "Get rid of gun-free zones."
Their logo ought to be an assault
Weapon over a skull and crossbones.
Although he speaks out of both sides
Of his mouth, the president never balks
When dealing with the organization.
We know how loudly money talks.
Praise to the Never Again movement!
There will be a moment of truth
When more and more voters decide
To battle it out in the voting booth.
Meanwhile, the NRA
Will let its appalling message be spread,
While the weapons industry takes
Potshots at the graves of the dead.
