A Fundamental Question

By Lynn Ockersz

In the sweltering Isle,

Where the hired gunman,

Has come to stay,

And drive-by shootings,

Are so commonplace,

Legal pundits skirt round,

The fount of all basic rights,

Which is the Right to Life,

For reasons best known to them,

But the sharpest of citizens,

Need to see here a cynical plan,

Set in motion since 1978,

To bloodily bring into being,

An authoritarian state,

Where human life goes dirt cheap.
