These shots were never taken by chance They were of anger taken under sunshine This smoke can oh so muddle your view of the truth They use smoke of their own to hide their intentions But the truth can be seen rolling by, glinting red The weapon of black turns their eyes white  One shines with tears; the other dull and ***** The greedy man hides the youth of all seventeen It could have been stopped And the young could continue This is preventable But he continues to enable His smiles are swamp green His words are shiny gold But he hides it all behind his suit of blue

Sunny's Gun
It was an AR15 that the kid used. A gun that, in this free world, men can indulge and abuse. A boy who saw him load his gun, the gunman saw and simply said run, A word that made the child flee for his life, just before waves of bullets came upon the school, The kid looked on and asked himself why is life so cruel. How many more people have to die, before its ****** metal, not tears, that your children cry. This free world, rife with argument by silly politicians Men that make decisions, without experience of the repercussions. This gunman was not a delinquent, he was a child. Born of your failed systems, born of your sick traditions. A boy who without second thought, took up his assault rifle and headed into war with the children that learned ambition with him, emotion and sudden movement that made them all feel just that little bit stifled. This free world is one with a core of rights, A doubled edged dagger, a topic of discussion that makes the average fat man want to fight. ‘Over my cold dead body’ he said. LET ME HAVE MY GUN Because whilst others use it for fun, the protection I have outweighs the fact that when a 19 year old comes to school, all the other kids have to run. It’s ridiculous, heck its thoroughly imbecilic, How children have to be careful of the education system, not because of a nationwide test but a, nationwide threat of grown men, looking to prove their ego, men that can’t go against the party line that fail to realise that life is more important than the next donation than the dollar sign. You want protection? That’s completely fine. Just don’t use the bodies of your children as meat shields and pretend everything’s fine. Don’t say you’ll do something as if something will change because nothing will change unless it does. This free world is not filled with love but truly its filled with hate, A bloodlust so dense, even children’s blood cannot sate it’s thirst. Until it's more than just a child hurt, but a country with a bullet wound Caused by people, who love guns so much but blame it on the loons. Your pain, I cannot prove.

Parkland Shooting.
