Eight more in Indianapolis yesterday. So many senseless killings. This cannot go on.

Enough is Enough

The more we have
The more we want
When will Enough be Enough?
 
The more we fear
The more we want

The more tears we shed
The more tears to come

I beg of you God
When will Enough be Enough?

When there’s more on the street
There’s more to repeat

I believe it insane
The loss of so many
When will Enough be Enough 

Stop playing this game
Is not for fame

Finding courage
In a six inch barrel 
Is gravestone peril
When will Enough be Enough 

My right to life
Precludes your right to holster

Today so Many 
Tomorrow so many, many more

Why not we?

Dear God!
When will Enough be Enough?
								 
Another eight today.  My heart bleeds.
