Shootings
Shootings
They happen
They happen every year
Of every month
Of every week
Of every day
Of every hour
Of every minute
Some are small
Some are massacres
Something needs to change
Or one day
We will all be victims
Victims of something
Something that could have been prevented
This something can and should be stopped
Stopped forever
For eternity
So we don’t have to live in fear
Live in fear of stepping outside
And dying
We don’t have to have a gun
To be strong
And powerful
And mighty
We have our minds
Our words
And our actions
We have to turn
Turn our thoughts into words
And our words into actions
We need to change this behavior
Change it forever
We need gun control
We need very thorough background checks
We need this for everyone
For everyone’s well being
So we can live in peace
For the victims and the victims to be
These monsters need to be stopped
Stopped from killing
Killing many
And killing few
Shootings can be prevented.
