Gun control

Gun control

A Poem by Emily

Innocent lives are taken away 

Innocent lives are treated like prey. 

Except this prey is not killed to be food 

This prey is not supposed to be chewed, 

It is killed simply because someone has a feud. 

A feud within themselves, a feud that doesn't 

make much sense. 

 

This is the sad reality we live in today. 

People killing to make a statement, 

People willing to go that far. 

Make others hurt, get blood on their shirts 

Instead of speaking with words. 

I suppose it is easier if you have a gun 

Aimshoot and get it done. 

 

We need stricter rules 

Unless you want more schools, 

ending up in sorrow. 

Tears dripping down the cheeks, 

People not being able to scream. 

Another week has gone by  

and fourteen students had to die.  

 

Maybe it’s hard to imagine, 

But if you were in the same situation,  

you would be furious at the nation. 

For letting something so scandalous happen. 

For letting your loved ones go too soon,  

an early Monday morning in June.

"Violence is a disease, a disease that corrupts all who use it regardless of the cause". Truly explained how people are not ready to listen rather just showing an action of flowing blood. It's a society we live defame the innocent and become a ruler harsh but real. Keep writing must say you got a talent go ahead and write more.
