The Wild West
written by: Roger Turner
@titansdad
the wild west’s still with us
it isn’t gone at all
8 shot inside a high school
11 at the mall
Tombstone is no longer
Dodge City, it’s now dust
But, the wild west’s still with us
Believe me…in disgust
They no longer use revolvers
And have show downs in the streets
They’ve moved it to the school room
Where children hide beneath their seats
The press are there like vultures
The NRA cries foul
11 dead inside the mosque
But people wail and howl
They’ve the right to carry guns
You can’t take that away
So, when you explain that to their folks
Just what do you say?
The wild west’s still with us
It’s a fact, that’s true
It’s not the same as it once was
This wild west is new
Shootings in the workplace
Shootings at the schools
Shooting in the churches
Are there any rules?
Each night the news is showing
A new shooting, it won’t stop
The shooter dies a victim
And it’s always death by cop
The wild west’s still with us
It isn’t gone at all
7 dead inside the church
11 at the mall
