FREEDOM FROM DEATH
My heart is feeling heavy
And my soul is full of hurt,
Found on Pinterest on 6-10-16. The Dalai Lama.
For my beloved Country
Is being dragged through dirt.
The lack of regulations,
Others yelling of their rights,
Has enabled many others
To turn a blind eye
To mass killings in the night.
How can we as a Country
Keep choosing to defer,
Some kind of gun control
So shootings won’t occur?
How many of our people
Have to die senseless deaths,
Because we lack intelligence
And will to save the breaths
Of other human beings
Who deserve to live?
What keeps us from trying
To give what we can give?
Our time and our attention
To set the record straight:
We won’t live with shootings,
And we can’t afford to wait,
For the “do nothing Congress,”
To decide to legislate,
Whether others in our Nation
Deserve to feel secure,
Live their lives with freedom,
And equality that’s pure.
It’s time to lift our voices
As one in this great land,
To call or send petitions
So all can understand.
We’re taking back our Country
So freedom can ring,
Again in America,
With all that freedom brings.
