Shotgun 2

Silence, Silence, All I hear is silence Through phones we are loud And so we vowed That shootings are disallowed But in person we are quiet In order to return balance We need to stand up and start a riot While the amendment states, “The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” This amendment dances and circles around people’s fates You can no longer continue the wait Gunshots fly through the air, Ready to pierce whatever is near And so we send our thoughts and prayers As some pretend that they were never there When is enough, enough? When graveyards are stuffed and stuffed? Now imagine, with compassion That your child filled with passion, Is shot and killed, would you call for action? Now imagine, as gunshots ring That the NRA is counting their cash, cha-ching cha-ching While your child’s life, is hung on a string So those who believe in keeping their gun rights, my question is this Is your rights worth the crimes those commit? Will you continue to allow these permits? Or will you like the rest of us Continue to discuss To ensure that these crimes do not go unjust? The choice is yours, But don’t forget all the pain we’ve endured To allow your gun rights to stay secured
