The Unmentionable
The Unmentionable
In Louisville the week opens to the sound of the gun,
Five dead in a bank lobby with nowhere to run.
Where does the problem lie, who to take to task?
But in Kentucky there are questions you simply don’t ask.
Andy Beshear has lost two of his friends.
In the U. S. losses to guns seemingly never end.
Is there a solution to hold violence at bay?
But in the red states there are things you just don’t say…
How to reduce the firearm’s score?
Some child’s last sound will be the muzzle blasts roar.
How many deaths has the NRA paid for?
How did we find ourselves in this silent war?
Tennessee and Kentucky, what will be reason enough?
How much longer do you think you can bluff?
How many more will be sent to their rest
Before you must come to what you’ll never suggest?
How to reduce the firearm’s score?
Some child’s last sound will be the muzzle blasts roar.
How many deaths has the NRA paid for?
How did we find ourselves in this silent war?
