May God Stop the Hand of the Next Gunman

Forty nine people were shut down,
that Sunday morning was very sad;
sunrise came and mourned their death,
I grieved for the souls of all the innocent!


" Damned be the one who pulled the quick trigger,
who seeks pleasure in blood should be accursed!"
My judgement may sound too repulsive and harsh,   
but doesn't a loving god, by any name, hate a killer?


May God stop the hand of the next killer,
the premeditated bloodshed in his evil mind;
may his plan fail before he attempts to kill:
one less gunman, a hundreds lives saved!


A Nation in chaos, fear keeps on increasing, folks run
to safety, a very tough President is needed immediately;
a soft heart must be replaced by a hard one: make no
single weapon available to the murderer, stop him cold! 


May God stop the hand of the next gunman
whose madness is steeped in anger and hatred;
be vigilant, do it for your family, do it for others:
you can put the smile back on everybody's face!
