How Many?

Protect Lives, Not Guns

By Gladys W. MuturiPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

How many guns have NRA that has to defend?

They say guns don't kill people

People kill people

How many more lives we have to risk daily?

At schools, movie theaters, nightclubs, stores, concerts, malls

How many more places?

How many thoughts and prayers we have to hear on the news or the media?

Instead of change?

When will be the change?

How many victims will we hear on the news?

Whether dead or alive listed

Where is the change?

Where is the love?

Where is the humanity?

How did people go crazy?

Mental or Terrorism

Which is the blame?

How much more can we handle?

Planning on a rampage or terror attacks

causing more chaos and riots

While we millions of people risk

Day by Day

Night after night

How many times do we have to repeat this?

Over and Over again

Hit the replay button again

Rewind,

Are we back to square one?

Fast Forward,

Are we the next ones?

To live or die

Which is which

Should we fight or give up?

When will weapons be lowered?

Madness gone,

Bang the gong

Peace at last,

When will it last?
