Dysfunction


And the guns of dysfunction still clatter
And the forked tongue of dysfunction still spurns,
And the minds of the sick are left mindless:
And the dysfunction of politicians
And the ignorance of consequence . . . no matter?
And the guns of dysfunction still shatter.

  5. An emotional dysfunction can result in so many senseless school shootings. Unfettered accessibility to guns is asking for trouble!

  7. And still they do.
    Vested interests...
    And dysfunction lives on in vested interests...
