Gun Violence....




Parents always left with the question why
Why did my baby have to die
All at the hands of someone that didn't think
That the trigger they pulled had any consequence
When did guns become our weapon of choice
What happened to standing up and using our voice
When did guns become our choice for fun
Knowing that once a life is taken it can't be undone
People are dying for no reason at all
People of all sizes, big and small
There is no where to hide
there is no place safe
It has no prejudice, it targets no race
Once the trigger is pulled
it takes its aim
It has no friends
because it knows no names
Many more funerals will be planned
Until we command a stand
And guns are banned
From the reckless hands
Planned and unplanned violence
That's spanned across the land
Its killing everyday
and I just can't understand
When do we get back our Holy Land?
Gun violence is taking over so what are YOU gonna do about it
Nothing at all???
Or maybe you will when its your child dead
on the concrete floor
