Texas Tragedy

Texas babies
Lost to soon
Taken away by some rage
Why the delay
Could have saved more
Could have shed less tears
Now this world knows the mistakes
The miscues
Why not take a stand to save the young
Time to fix the mental side of gun control
Take a look past the tool
See the finger that  pulls the trigger
It belongs to a face
A face in the crowd that everyone saw to late
The blame is not the gun
The blame is not the outcast
The blame belongs to what is not seen
The mental anguish some one feels at that time
And decides to aim it at a babie or at an adult.
It does not matter we need to see that gun control starts with mental healing. 
You can take the guns
You can hide the bullets
But the scars of humanity are always cut  by the blood of the innocent.

Prays to Texas and all the families affected by this tragedy.
