Bizarre Blessings

Seventeen people lost their lives

At a high school on Valentine's Day

In the city of Parkland, Florida.

Students and teachers, by the way.

 

Yesterday at Pompano Beach

The last victim was laid to rest

Of the seventeen killed at the school.

Oh, how far we've progressed!

 

For meanwhile, a so-called preacher

In Pennsylvania made a plea,

Asking couples to bring to church

Their AR-15s to be blessed, you see.

 

Whenever there's an incident,

From out of the woodwork lunatics spring.

So now at church they're blessing guns?

Crackpots will bless anything!

 

Insensitivity knows no limits

When humankind's ignorance rages.

Is this the twenty-first century,

Or are we living in the Dark Ages?
