There was a school safety conference in Bethesda Maryland today -- a supposed response to the rash of school shootings, although gun control was off the agenda. But one participant offered his analysis of the problem in verse --
Your laws ignore our deepest needs
Your words are empty air.
You've stripped away our heritage
You've outlawed simple prayer.
Now gunshots fill our classrooms
and precious children die.
You seek for answers everywhere
and ask the question why.
You regulate restrictive law
through legislative creed,
and yet you failed to understand
that God is what we need.
The contribution was heartily endorsed by conference attendee, President George Bush.
