Begging For Justice
14,000 bodies
sprawled on the floor
bloody
dead
14,000 families
screaming to the sky
confused
alone
14,000 bullets
laying empty on the ground
dented
stained
14,000 screams
echoing through the air
desperate
scared
How can we let this happen?
How can we look at our children and tell them the world is good?
When there are 14,000 people
Who would tell them otherwise
