It's Complicated!A Poem by Michael StevensSo many reasons!It’s Complicated!
The scenes of heartbreak showing on
the T.V. screen
Are hard to watch, but the roots of
our gun problem are vast
There are many more reasons than
just needing stricter laws;
There’s the issue of mental health,
There’s the issue of desensitizing ‘games’,
Where you score more points for the
more you kill;
Teaching kids that shooting someone
somehow isn’t real
There’s the issue of our gun
culture,
That’s teaching children that the
best, and only,
Way to solve problems is though
violence
And there’s other reasons I haven’t
touched on,
To solve the gun problem definitely
won’t be easy,
But we’ve GOT to start somewhere,
because the status quo is unacceptable!
