Hey, guys!

Just so you know, this is not edited, it is not planned, it just popped into my head while I was waiting for freaking MAP testing to be over.

Us

They argue but to no avail

They march but for what?

They are still trying

They are still falling

We are just bystanders

We are just victims

Nothing of it?


They say, "Control"

And yet the numbers grow

The victims

The schools

The guns

They grow with the fear of the people


In the background people fall

Children fall

Schools fall

Victim to those who choose to take innocent lives

For their own satisfaction

For their own bliss

For their own pain                                                                                                                                                                


I feel pain for them

The children

The shooters

They were too young

To hear that one sound that would shatter their lives forever.
