"School boycotts? Yes, parents must pressure Congress to pass smart gun laws."
—Chicago Tribune, May 23, 2018
It usually comes down to this:
Madness is always in fashion.
The world ignores what it knows not,
The world forgets what it knows.
They'll raise another dream for us,
And we will fight for it,
And time after time
Our hopes go unrealized.
We are left with memories
Of the trigger, the bullet
And the target, but hardly ever
Of the shield.
George Salamon lives in St. Louis, MO, where plenty of bullets fly.
