*contains mention of gun violence*
48,000,
And counting,
As the bullets,
Rain down,
In corridors,
Piercing,
The screams,
From the children,
Which have now,
Gone silent,
48,000,
Lives,
That could have been saved,
That could have been,
The next doctor,
A scientist,
A teacher,
A nurse,
An inventor,
An astronaut,
The list goes on,
Their lives,
Cut short,
Their blood,
On your hands,
Yet,
You’ll ban,
Everything,
That makes no sense,
But you can’t,
Let go,
Of something,
That’s several years old,
And out of date,
Because of your pride,
Your spirit,
You don’t need,
The guns,
We need action,
We have been screaming,
For it,
Yet,
It falls on deaf ears,
Like the bullets,
That fill the corridors,
Where the children once,
Stood,
Having a normal day,
48,000 and rising,
It’s time for it to end
