gone are the mom and pop stores that I once knew

candy stores , malt shops, newspaper and magazine stands too.

life was so much simpler then, you knew your neighbors

and had a lot of friends.

schools were for learning, and where kids could go to play

now you don't see that on any given day.

teachers and adults were respected and a sense of pride in the air

"nowadays no one seems to care".

they are trying to pass a stricter gun law

because of what happened at SANDY HOOK

but that won't happen, because we have too many POLITICAL crooks.

twenty little angels were taken away that day

and six adult educators who got in the gunman's way.

now i'm not against the secod amendment

I think it's our given right , but when it comes

to "ASSAULT Weapons"

the public should start to fight.

the public don't need "assault weapons"

we must take them off the streets

these are weapons of mass destruction

being sold through "political corruption"

while children lay dead at our feet.

I think the publics "outrage" should be heard loud and clear

maybe then - it'll create political fear.
