A Valley Which Does Not Rest

Count the dead add the wounded multiplied by the countless years of disarray the total sum of lives without peace is astounding living on with only memories of lost ones dreams haunted by violence that looms fear stifles, visions of bloodshed embedded each day the valley lacks tranquility and does not sleep lives are taken by unsparing acts of rampage no healing can mend, scars remain and reflect those tragedies the unrighteousness has plagued us for many years now we are longing for some comfort, but turbulence runs amok Lessons have been laid to implement prevention but the gate remains fractured and left alone whose duty is it to rise up and be heard? many won’t hear it, they’ve fallen in the valley. one cannot be silent and let the turmoil continue rise and be counted before another life is counted our children will hopefully have freedom from apprehension we can provide what they need to ensure freedom for all. we stand strong to defend our county which cost lives we must take stance to promote the same for our children its not a choice to act or not, it’s a matter of principle to ensure what we fought for was achieved by saving lives
