So... Parkland wasn’t enough....now Santa Fe....
So... who do I need to talk to to get better gun laws?
I mean we got preschoolers learning a rhyme that tells them what to
do during a shooting.
Shots fired
Lives lost
Defeated and tired
At what cost
Hard to move
Long we stand
As we prove
To this tough land
Guns are dark
Guns are pain
They bear a mark
We must detain
Is it finally time to talk about it?
Have enough children died that we can finally talk about it?
What if it had been your children, your family, your friends?
Then would it be time to talk about it?
Columbine, Parkland,
Boston Races;
So many lost, too many faces.
How long must this last?
We must end this epidemic fast!
'But how', they ask,
'Impossible!', they say.
Every day
there’s a new tragedy
plaguing the headlines of newspapers and magazines
When did we forget how to love?
instead learn how to hate
