When Will It STOP

By: Honorine Shabani

When will we feel safe going out?

When will children feel safe going to school?

When will we stop losing our loved ones?

When will mothers stop shedding tears?

When will one crowd under fire stop?

When will homicides and sucide stop?

When will mental disorders stop being taken as a joke?

Let's stop using guns just for fun

Let’s live in harmony and stop judging

Let’s dishonorary the act of violence and hate

Let’s stop the killing and start loving

Stop hashtags and start doing actions

Let’s stop our community from being broken

Let’s stop families being bit

Let’s work together and stop gun violence

LET’S BE ONE, USA
