Oh no! Not again, again.
Utter outrage is not enough.
The bottom line if not obvious, is this,
There are no excuses,
There are no good reasons,
There is no lower we can go,
Beyond bottom is where we already are.
Over and over, we say no more,
But here we are, again, and again,
More than once more,
By many more.
As if it’s never enough.
Too much!
More than enough already.
Violence begets violence,
But I’m not violent,
One might say,
But if we’re being honest,
Aren’t we all,
In some way?
Thinking carefully,
Competition here and there,
Competition everywhere.
Through the years,
Things get turned upside down,
Words get mixed,
Intentions sway,
Power plays,
Hands shake,
All as if nobody is the wiser.
Enough already!
Place the value in what’s valuable!
Get over self-inflation,
Turn right side up, and
Come back down to earth.
Look reality in the face,
And address it wholeheartedly.
Join each other as One nation.
Stop the violence,
Stop it now.
No more loss.
None! Not any!
It ought to be common sense.
That’s what ought to be automatic.
Consider communicating (and re-communicating) to elected officials concerns and wishes regarding gun control and reform to laws, and exercise the right to vote to put people in office who will work to address gun violence more effectively. Pray, because prayer never hurts, and can only help. In addition, the following is a short list of organizations working to increase awareness and stop gun violence.
