Waffle House Massacre

By Ramona Thompson

What more is it gonna take?

Another day, another crazed gun man

Fucked up times we are living in

Freaks and insanity roam the streets free to do as they please

Let me tell you, I’m getting sick of government and police not doing their best to protect us

Every time I turn on the news why must there be more blood and more bodies?

How can we be so blind and dumb to what is happening all around us?

One is always more of a nightmare than the next

Understanding and a way to stop the madness slips right through our fingers

Slaughter of the innocent becomes the order up of the day

Every damned day another of us is damned and to me that is just not fair!

More and more we see it in the news today

Another looney tune with a gun on a mission of insanity

So much confusion

So much blood and death

Ain’t it all just too much?

Can’t we try better to stop it before it happens?

Right from wrong has got to be taught better or else all ours will wind up as the sick freaks or the victims

Everybody, you know I’m right

Don’t you?

Don’t you?
