Tears For the Innocents

You wonder at the sense of it all
And living where guns have the final call
And going about your daily lives
Places you in danger not disguised

May god accept the little ones taken in an act so cruel
With their teachers who have passed by gunman’s rule
How many lives taken by the gun 
For guns and murder to not to have won?

Vale to the innocents Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas 25/5/22.
