Again . . .

How many more of these hearbreaking words is Ms. Honoré going to have to write?

From Leslé Honoré

Let me give you a gun 

Because you have the right 

To bear arms 

And mothers continue to 

Come home with bare arms 

Go ahead 

Murder babies 

In Sandy Hook 

And Uvalde 

And teenagers 

In Winder, Georgia 

In Parkland 

And music lovers 

In Vegas 

And Employees

In Aurora

And Grocery Shoppers 

In Buffalo 

And Children on the streets of Chicago 

Let me give you guns 

You don’t have to do much 

Just give me some money 

I don’t care if you are 

Sane 

Or 14 years old 

Just bring me green 

And I’ll give you ammo 

And pay my lobbyist 

To cover your government 

In blood drenched bills 

Here 

Let me give you guns 

Because it’s your American birthright

Like baseball and apple pie 

And racism and genocide 

Like hate and capitalism 

Here 

Let me give you guns 

And when you weep over 

Your 1st graders 

Dead

Bullet holes bigger than golf balls 

And your high school students 

Swimming in the blood of their peers 

Dragging teachers to safety 

Only to watch them die 

And co workers hiding behind desks 

Like they are in battleground trenches 

I’ll give you 

Thoughts and prayers 

This is a war zone 

With 

Very straight lines 

Between lack of gun control 

And 

Hate 

Let me give you a gun

And White Supremacy 

Will continue to make 

America Great
