Never Again, Never In Vain

Never again should innocent lives vanish in vain Cos machineguns marshall greater protection Than students’ lives. Marjory Stoneman survivors chant ‘Never Again’ Should indifference and insensitivity buttress inept inaction. Columbine, Sandy Hook memories remain memories Without a determined call for students lives to live Alongside gun laws from death merchant law parodies That no care, no concern gun proponents to lives give. Students leave home safe, students return home safe After school without a machinegun taking a potshot At students attending school. No slayers students should strafe At school without dealing death blows to dreams of a benevolent bigshot. Never again should parents bury sons and daughters too soon Cos a psycho with a grudge and greed for guns Elects to discharge a volley of bullets in real time at noon To take way lives of sons and daughters who won’t become nuns.
