Bleeding Sensation
If it bleeds it leads sensation
Easy to manifest a distraction
Having denied 14 an education
Plus 3 with no more vacation
Take heat off the investigation
Steer away from the correlation
That weapons and ammunition
Used to attack a sovereign nation
Paid through excessive taxation
Under the guise of democratization
Rather profits for many a corporation
Stealing resources actualization
Protecting freedom hyperbolization
Acceptable murder the rationalization
Preventive attack justification
Pretending there’ll be no retaliation
Spiraling down goes civilization
Trump first to suggest confiscation
Befuddled the NRA organization
Who needs, the mental evaluation
Putting his base in a conflagration
Students giving best demonstration
To pass reasonable legislation
Thomas Jefferson made proclamation
Tis okay to change the constitution
As a result of a growing evolution
Hopefully with a peaceful revolution
It is a flawed interpretation
Believing a few guns registration
Will impede tyrannical occupation
Caused by thinking cessation
Cognitive dissonance manipulation
“If the President wants to come up to me and tell me to my face that it was a terrible tragedy and how it should never have happened and maintain telling us how nothing is going to be done about it, I’m going to happily ask him how much money he received from the National Rifle Association.
You want to know something? It doesn’t matter, because I already know. Thirty million dollars. And divided by the number of gunshot victims in the United States in the one and one-half months in 2018 alone, that comes out to being $5,800. Is that how much these people are worth to you, Trump? If you don’t do anything to prevent this from continuing to occur, that number of gunshot victims will go up and the number that they are worth will go down. And we will be worthless to you.
To every politician who is taking donations from the NRA, shame on you.”

“If you want to know how your congressman and senators are going to vote, maybe they should be like NASCAR drivers, they should actually have to have jackets with the names of all the people who are sponsoring them, wouldn’t that be cool.”

Sorry For the brief comment. I should have been specific about what I liked like the students fighting for legislation. I thought the piece was well expressed.
