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.
