Frustration With the American Climate of Massacres

At what point do we as a society built on the fundamental Ideals of trust, love, protection Decide that violence can be prevented? Decide that choices lead to consequences That mar and destroy the lives we claim are sacred? At what point do enough children barely alive and still growing Get shot before they can thrive? At what point does a hobby, does an antiquated right, Pale in comparison to the blood on your money? Decide that the love your God tells you to have Might mean giving up what you cherish. And if you can’t see that more guns mean more Deaths by guns Maybe pray a little bit harder. But while you ponder and pore over data More of your children will suffer. And if you can’t see that you have the means for change Give action a chance, be the lover.
