Welcome to The Gun Show

Stockpile military weapons, 
Stockpile high-volume gun clips
Spread of infested rats through the country
Is it our fate?
Is this the end? 
Predicted apocalypse?
Registered, unregistered, and ghost weapons
are used to kill at a family dispute
With a single trigger, within seconds
They silence us; 
They make us strangely mute. 
A simple graduation party,
 a school,
 a mall, 
a club,  
at a postal office 
a walk on a beach 
Become target zones – this is no figure of speech. 
America - the land of free without freedom
A gun behind the back and friendly “Hello” 
Hunting own demons every season
America,  welcome to the gun show
