Remember in November

The police tape has been taken down, Candles and flowers litter the ground, Politicians came through with their thoughts and their prayers But no policy changes are made anywhere. Just another story on the evening news You can ignore it, if you so choose But the families who bury a loved one tomorrow Forever will have to live with this sorrow. The price of an amendment is too high a cost When paid with by the souls of the children we lost What we should do, I do not pretend to know, But I’m pretty sure it isn’t maintain status quo. I am finding it harder to shed another tear, When this same tragic incident happens year after year When will our Nation finally cross that thin line To motivate its citizens to make changes this time? The absurdity of these mass murders we must always remember, Each time we are privileged to vote in November.
