THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!
The madness of thoughts
Running rampant with emotions
Twisted premeditated actions
Flaming fire, left with gun-powdered outlines
Innocence of Youth, ripped from existence
The Teacher, teaches how quickly life is taken
THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!
Lives lost, robbed so early
Heartbreak and mayhem
Have become too common of a theme
Mentally-illed, unchecked, uncared for anguish
Festering, pestering, the psyche, destroying the Soul
Fermenting into new-made monsters
THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!
Guns are controlled
By those who have decent control
Of life & of self
Destruction is controlled by the uncontrollable
That have easier access to weaponry
Than those that need protecting
THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!
BLOOD! SCREAMS! BLOOD! SCREAMS!
Gasping of air, lights in eyes go dim
Parents & family, left empty and crying
Caskets lined with young gems
And teachers that loved them
AMERICA-A-A-A-A!!! AMERICA-A-A-A-A!!!
THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!

“Dedicated to the lives taken in such avoidable violence. Normally people use the word “senseless.” But this makes perfect sense. If we do not do something about mental illness, the lack of love, compassion, understanding, and address these issues beforehand? This murderous madness will not cease. This child that took these live? Was exhibiting violence & mental illness way before this point. WHY WAS NOTHING DONE? WHY WAS THIS IGNORED UNTIL HE LOST IT??? THIS TOO HAS GOT TO STOP!”
My deepest & heartfelt condolences to the families & community. Rest In Love.
