What color is your special hell

That has been wrongly wrought

Upon this cursed earth?

What is this face of evil

That you have now revealed

To those who trusted you?

What color is your dark heart

That yearns to grip tightly

The souls of all humanity?

Between your yellow teeth

Seething now with steam

Your deceit pours forth

Many see through your vile lies

Though many have bought them outright

Wagering their souls for your lies

The day of reckoning is coming

For you the prince of hate

Though many more will first suffer

After you cull the herd of the weak and poor

Condemned to die the death of attrition

Because they have no voice of their own

All we can do is weep

For the humanity lost

Squeezed to death by your greedy grasp

Your treasonous hate machine grinds onward

Tearing apart the souls and lives

Of those you swore to protect

Perhaps your day of reckoning will arrive

But probably not soon enough

Before many more have died.

All I can say is in resignation

That you have succeeded in only this

Making America Hate Again

(c) BAM

I was reading the latest vocabulary list in French class when everything went dark

I didn't die right away

I heard more gunfire and the announcement that came too late for me

Active shooter on campus, this is not a drill

That's me

Fourth from the left

I'm wearing my softball uniform in that picture

I was the junior varsity captain of my team

I was sixteen

I was a girlfriend

I was a best friend

A daughter and a big sister

Now I am a statistic

A story on the evening news

I'll be forgotten about by most people

After a week or so

Thoughts and prayers

Future campaign promises

Nothing changes

Except the lives of my parents and little brother

I had a life

I had a future

I had dreams

Now I have a casket with pink roses on top

I was going to sleep. I locked my doors. I closed and locked my windows. I set the alarm. None of my precautions mattered.

The three of them entered my house by smashing my picture window and jumping in. They gave no warning. They each had pistols. If you tell me this was a robbery, I will only laugh.

Within ten seconds, they had taken conrol of my house.

Within five seconds, I had taken control of my shotgun.

Inside of twenty seconds, I regained control of my house.

I was prepared. I had superior fire power. I had formal training. I had the resolve to fight.

Thus, I gave the only statement to the police.

Where were the gun control advocates before the break in? Where are they now?

Before anyone advocates yet another law that criminals will not follow or the complete abolishment of the 2nd Amendment to the US Constitution without formally amending the US Constitution (a clearly stated process in the US Constitution) ask yourself,

Do I have the right to defend myself and my property?

Should I use deadly force on those using deadly force on me?

Am I required to run and hide when facing evil?

If so, will you be there to protect me?

How will you accomplish this?

And my favorite,

How often does my situation occur whereby a law abiding citizen uses a firearm to defend themelves and why is this not a trending news story every time it occurs?

If you wish to reply, please confine your reply to the questions and details from my post. Then I will be more than happy to listen.
