The Cub or the Bear

For which one would you rather care?

By Ecarg NosivePublished 5 months ago 1 min read

So many shootings

So many guns

Yet the White House still isn’t stained with blood

Instead it’s on the tshirts of the ones who would have taken it right off their backs for you

Un-developed brain matter on the floor in the classroom

Staring down a gun barrel are eyes that haven’t seen the world yet

And it’s the one they would have seen that did this to them

What is a law if it’s protects no one

It’s control for their power & theft paid by our lives stolen

The right to bear arms never liked them

It was made to keep the people from their harm so

How did we let them get this far then?

Some of us bow down to the ones who make it hard

For us citizens

And the children

…Let that line sink in

The bullets should be aimed towards the admin

And their master pedo puppeteer

The amendment has been misconstrued

Much like the bible and now our human rights get to lose

That’s a whole other story though

This is a problem that can be almost solved

Yet they won’t take the chance on it or even get involved

A mom will never again see her baby run off the school bus in a race to her mother’s arms screaming “Mommy!” through a smile that should be seen for more years to come

A dad won’t get to throw the ball with his son in the yard anymore

A friend will look at their socials with grief instead of admiration

All because you refuse to go through a few extra loopholes to bear it FOR them

Which in another term, we would all choose

But in this case

It’s the bear or it’s cub

And if a few regulations bother you

Then you shouldn’t own a gun

Your hands are as red as their tshirts

Your heads have less brains than the floor

Your eyes will look past all of this

Thus you are the reason gun violence is the leading cause of death in our kids, and their killers

unjustly get to live
