The current day obliteration will not be
By troops in heavy boots and woolen coats
Arms outstretched in a superior salute
Our modern-day madman has an
AR-15 as his arm extension
His uniform is blue jeans and a backpack
A trench coat and blank eyes
His artillery; video games and available ammo
Soon there will be no more survivors
Holocaust survivors
Schoolchildren today are the last generation
To hear a real person
Speak the truth. Sad guttural
voices on tape
Now digitized for the times
Telling us never - never again
Citizens stood and saluted
An evil man with no heart
Neighbors clucked their tongues
Disregarding the truth. The
glaring truth
One day any shard of light
That came from the ashes of the Holocaust
Will be forever dimmed
Today’s society has a different breed of survivor
Years from now a grandmother will hold a toddler
In the warmth of her bosom and tell
Of the time of terror
Terror of children being murdered in kindergarten
Teenagers gunned down in the halls of high school
That practicing your faith was dangerous
Churches were targets, unsafe
Movie theaters provided real life
Bolt-action, dive under your seat experiences
Our blind-eye is vapid
Thoughts and prayers
Hollow sentiments, candlelight vigils
Fallow filibusters
We must pray these current survivors of today’s reign of
terror
Perpetuated by the new regime of a corrupt congress
And the NRA
Will find the strength to procreate
To overcome this satanic inhumanity
That values bullets over babies
