Oregon's Trail of Tears

The Oregon trail of tears That faithful morn Ten lives lost forever A senseless crime Ode to the ordinary An expected trend When will it change A call for gun control Outspoken rage Time for order Time for a change Tougher laws Tougher checks Is this the answer We questions the motives How could someone do this How many more tears need flow How much blood shed is it going to take We need to open our eyes to the real issues at hand A gun can't cause the wound its the forgotten souls that take aim The bullied, the unloved, the strange, and the hurt. This needs to be the concern not the gun or the bullets The root of the problem needs to be nourished I am sorry for the losses my prays are with those families We all need to grow and see that taking the gun out of the hand is not going to solve it all. I hope someday we will see that.
