Behind the hearty laughter
Lurked depression sinister
As everyone looks for an answer
After the terrible disaster
What were the missed signs
Was this part of a design
There would be a moment of silence
As authorities practice the ritual dance
Debating where to put the blame
As if this one, like others, just a game
Do not blame the weapons, it’s the person
Weapons are fine, even in hands of little one
They need to learn how to shoot a gun
Hunting deer or duck with AR15 is fun
Looking for a way to curb automatic weapons
Stooges and lackeys are afraid of NRA’s venom
Lip service aplenty they will provide
As another group of kids lose their lives
All hail to second amendment, constitution is sacrosanct
Money talks, as politicians hide with blood on their hands

Opportunity: RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge #192:
In response to Ronovan’s weekly haiku challenge prompt Slim & Chance
Opportunity
Slim chance one opens the door
When it comes knocking
What gun control law
Legislators scared of NRA
Very slim chance
Zen&Noise: RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge 189
Haiku is supposed to be about nature. But this week’s haiku challenge from Ronovan brings to my mind an image that many may find disturbing and inappropriate for a haiku. I kept it from posting for a couple of days but after viewing the CNN town hall meeting of Parkland shooting, I wanted to post it.
