Who kills the kids

Who kills the kids

A Poem by Rew

Who kills the kids, books and drag-shows?
The lawmakers say, " shoot! We know
and we'll gun for em, jail those dames,
burn books before kids damaged or maimed
and, ban abortions, get more kids grown."

Lawmakers, dread books and Dames grow
a Beau to Belle or Belle to Beau,
but haven't the gumption to name
Who kills the kids.

They fight faux fights with those faux foes
with huge flow of taxpayer's dough,
to ban kid's books and Panto' Dames?
and, strangely, never show much shame,
tamed by the NRA? But, whoa!
Who kills the kids?
