Stop

Sirens blaze as children play.
While once again the nation begins to pray.
Gunshots are heard,
as children try to learn.

Duck and cover.
Grab a sister and a brother.
Here we go again.
Let the horror begin.

Lives are lost.
Families would pay any cost,
to have their youth
there for them to soothe.

Children live in fear,
that the end is near.
They laugh and play,
with the risk of it being their last day.

What has our nation come to?
Will there ever be safety for me or you?
Let us make a change,
and stop the lunatics in this day and age.
