Time To Ban the Guns

They say it is their legal rights For them to bear a firearm But every time you see the news The innocents who getting harm Today a man walks in school Just a couple hours ago Take so much innocent lives Why? We will never know Parents Drop their kids this morning To school and said their goodbyes Not knowing it’s the last time They will be looking in their little eyes When some hears the gun fire They hurriedly call 911 By the time the police arrives 26 lives are gone What do you say to them? The families who lost love ones Their whole lives are taken away Because the politicians refuse to ban guns How many more must die Before all guns are completely destroy How can parents ever cope? Not seeing their little girl and little boy Its time president Obama stands up And stop putting the children at risk I’m sure the nation’s founding fathers Never though it would be like this When Thomas Jefferson and others Draft the United States constitution They had no idea that today Guns will be use to kill little children If Abraham Lincoln and George Washington Was alive to see this massacred of children They would of change the laws To Never to see a gun again But the rich politicians in America Are safe with their body guards And putting guns in the hands Who are completely mad? Massacres in Columbine high school And the premiere of batman Shootings in shopping malls To much guns in the wrong hands We the people of USA We can’t let our innocent die anymore If we cant get them to ban guns Them what are we voting for

Well said... I'm a Canadian and my heart is aching for the families left to grieve... I have a young child, a little girl, and I can barely grasp this horror. I appreciate your poem and your views. May change come soon and may another parent NEVER have to bury their child due to a school shooting. My husband's co worker just had a funeral for his six year old, and it was because of a condition, which is horrible enough... but THIS? This... has no words....
