POEM

(Photo of the Newtown "Angels" memorial is from nbcconnecticut.com.)

I bring you another poem by my friend Brian -- this one on an issue that should remain foremost in our minds.

THERE IS A COST
by Brian McLaughlin


The people heard
but they wouldn't listen
their eyes were open
but couldn't see
the killing fields
this war at home
was never something 
that should ever be
our children gone
forever lost
the right to bear
it has cost
when a crazy man
can still get a gun
and in his mind
it's for his fun
death will follow
excuses spun
the NRA
again has won
