Charlie Kirk was a Great Big Jerk
Charlie Kirk was a Great Big Jerk
And a great big jerk was he
He said that the deaths caused by guns on our streets
Are just the price of liberty
I wonder if he thought that he was immune?
Like it couldn’t happen if he was in the room…
That the lives being lost were disposable like mine,
And when WE die, they don’t think it’s a crime.
Never mind that the Second Amendment is this constitutional right
That is really a privilege in the function of being WHITE
Because, although my dad was a gunsmith, and I’ve been hands-on for a chunk of my life
I’ve never walked into a gun store and seen people of color welcomed inside.
When the hand that pulls the trigger is attached to a minority life
Suddenly, this sacred right becomes a crime
But when a privileged white boy shoots up a school it’s fine?
I do not understand how you could fail to see the line
When asked to account for mass shooting deaths,
He answered with conjecture, without regard for the lives wrecked
Without numbers or knowledge or a single fact
Blaming trans people, and minorities, when they’re already under attack.
I can’t help but notice you’re fine with that, but clutch your pearls when we fight back.
To hell with that.
Do you hear how they cheer? Do you hear how they clap?
I value the lives on the other side of that
The world is a little bit safer tonight
As one fewer bigot will hold a microphone and incite a riot
He behaved without regard for the damage he was doing
And there’s never accountability for the hate the right keeps spewing
Instead let’s blame the victims for being relieved at this removing.
