Every Single Move

Iranian and Saudi clash
Ongoing Middle East crisis
Chinese stock market crash
North Korean nuclear bomb test
American uproar with executive gun control
To name a few
Not a good start for 2016

But the last one regarding gun control
Namely the background check stipulation
Really is manufactured bad
For the sake of opposing and refusing
Without any justifiable logical ground
To take that opposing stance other than
The mere fact of standing in the opposite corner

It is rather puzzling to see all the media
Politicians and general public
All caught up in the fighting stance
Arguing blaming chastising this act
As something really bad has happened
Eliciting second amendment
Constitutional rights
Over reaching
Heating up the social media wave
Conjuring up imaginary scenarios

For what?
Requiring a background check?
For selling deadly weapon used in wars?

Every single citizen in this country
In order to drive a car
Has to reach a certain age
Then pass a written test
Go to DMV
Pass eye exam
Then take driving test
Get an insurance
And wear the sit belt
In order to drive a car
Not as deadly as a gun
But deadly nonetheless
To make sure each driver knows the rules
Is not half blind
Knows how to drive
And is financially covered

But now the president
Not any president of any company or country
The President of United States
The most powerful country in the world
In order to make the country more safe
To decrease the number of guns in unwanted hands
Preserving the rights of all citizens to own a gun
Makes an executive order for background checks
And really there are people standing opposed?

It is really sad to see
How every single step
Every single move
This first black president of our country makes
Is opposed not based on its substance
But merely for the sake of opposing

It has become too often and too repetitive
That people no longer expect anything else
Nor care about the substance
Just happy and content to oppose
To satisfy their desire to oppose

Otherwise
How could they have gone to the DMV
Took a test and got eye exam
Then took another test to drive
And wear sit belts?
How can they succumb to such government control?

There is a point when argument has to stop
When it is clear that the sky is blue
Not orange
