The Shining

The story of a man who goes insane
He tries to murder his wife and child
But only ends up killing a black man and freezing to death
Lost in a hedge maze
But is this story that much fantasy?
What about the killer in Las Vegas?
What about the countless nameless victims all over this land
People who's only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time
What is the solution to all this madness?
How do we create people who don't go nuts?
Or people who are totally sane but still commit horrific crimes
Fathers who are nice to their children
That would be a start
And mothers who actually think ahead and have kids they want
And kids they can afford to have
Gun control
I don't own a gun
Because I don't believe in pointing a deadly weapon at any one
I don't believe in taking them away from people though
Cause then only the criminals would have guns
Chicago is a good example of this

About this poem:
Finishing up the movie The Shining and thinking of all the talk about the massacre that happened Sunday night in Las Vegas. I love how the family acts totally innocent, they did have some influence in how he turned out.
