Columbine, Parkland,
Boston Races;
So many lost, too many faces.
How long must this last?
We must end this epidemic fast!
'But how', they ask,
'Impossible!', they say.
One shot, the shot that killed you
Two minutes, is all it took for lives to be taken
one month, and im walking away from the place that protects us
17 minutes, to honor the victims the world has lost
When you turn on the news, what's the first thing you see?
The Black man that got shot today or the White man on the murderous streak.
The mouth of the metal monster
the maw of the morbid mother
the giver of gold or gall
picking out the particular person
plucking out precious people
maker of more monopolies
She said yes
That faithful day on April 20th
That was such a mess
She was questioned with a gun to her head
Asked by her murders "Do you believe in God?"
She answered with the utmost strength
