Sean Ferris Poet Political Verse

Cold Dead Hands

Mother don't hear the birds sing
Eyes filled with tears death brings

Babies massacred attending school
At the hands of a deranged drool 

Assault guns increase the killing rate
Inaction by congress sealed their fate

Mother cry out in vain
No one can feel their pain

Guns built for war
Available at the local store

Adult just turn away
No one will have to pay

The NRA said my cold dead hand
Mother children now take that stand

What needs to be done is for people in authority to be aware of what is going in with the young people at school so that help can be given to those who need it. That is a big responsibility for those who teach and work with young people but we all need to sit up and take notice. Sara
