Elegy for Future Gun Victims – We are so sorry.

Elegy for Future Gun Victims – We are so sorry. We dithered. We allowed thousands of innocent people to be killed because well, we just couldn’t do something about it. We debated. You see, sociopaths and wannabe sociopaths rarely announce themselves. They lie hidden, brooding, and building their shaky confidence to walk into a school or campus and kill unarmed children at play and peaceful adults. We’re sorry. We could have taken guns away from people but only the law-abiding would have cooperated. Those with malevolent plans are quite good at evasion. You see, humans find a way around every obstacle. That’s our strength and the secret of power and success. No, success is not just about money and award-winning science. It is also making sure that a miserable life, lived in fear and isolation can make the front pages and all the social media outlets. Their power over the defenseless makes them gods in their own view. They know they scare us. We did nothing. So some were content to let the gun-crazies and the gun-normals fight it out. We watched their group split as more lives, perhaps yours, were lost. The other side might have theorized that if guns were taken away, normal people would not have a way to defend themselves, and so they too sat warily on their hands. We are so sorry. We don't know who is next. Shawn M. Nichols Vocalise - Rachmaninov and Sylvia McNair
