What is wrong with this world?
Eighteen school shootings!
This is too traumatic.
There is no change.
Just prayers and thoughts, it's automatic.

We need Gun Control!

Then maybe there would be no seventeen victims.
But this is reality.
We have to face the casualties.
Too many lives lost.
This is the great cost.

Fuck guns but fuck that shooter in Florida more.
Name unspoken, don't want to poke at anyone's core.

But I must speak the truth.

This country is slipping.
We need these lawmakers to step up.
We need tougher gun laws.
Then and only then will we be safe.
And schools may go back to being a fearless place.
