Innocence Over Ignorance

Look at the faces of our victims in schools To do nothing now ensures that we are fools We justify the right to defend our freedoms But not with expenses paid by innocent ones Let this be an hour to reach out your hands Listen to far cries of the neediest demands Put down any notion of life without burdens Lift someone else up to spread inspirations Be present in the most important situations The gift of life is universal preservations Demands can be met with community solutions Aiding those lost in their lonely delusions

Extremists on both ends of the spectrum are making non-sensical demands and statements. Hopefully there will be changes without dictatorship. I have faith in the president.
