Lets Boycott Guns and Bullets

TO MY SISTER
To hurt
    from
no love
is  pain
all must feel.
                 WHY?
To cry
    from
no love
is  pain
for all
     to hear.
                 WHY?
Is there
not
more love
than we
       can give?
To die
    from
no love
is  a
funeral we
all must attend.
                  WHY?
