A day of violence

Charlie Kirk was shot

A school shooting in Denver

Constant wars all around of course

And memories of 9/11 still lie strong.

What leads someone

To pick up a gun

And decide to shoot someone

They don't agree with?

Violence is not the answer.

It only leads to more hate.

They laughed at me

When I said I believed

Everyone wanted to be a good person.

Was that daft of me?

That I could not conceive

The idea of a kindergartener ever wanting to do bad.

Where does the evil come from then?

Glamorized violence on the television?

In movies we love so much?

The freakishly inhumane that we call entertainment?

We remember

We remember the events

Of all the violence we can

To try and stop history

From doing its cycle.

But unless we do something

Violence and death will happen

All because someone had a different opinion than another.
