Murdered Schoolchildren Poem by Randy McClave

I read the thoughts and I heard the prayers
And then I saw the million shares,
Then there were flowers laid at the site
And eulogies were then given that very night.
The community did weep and also did mourn
New laws was then promised and sworn,
And everyone gave a hallelujah and shedded another tear
From all the speeches and promises that they did hear.
They then swore that this will not ever happen again
It is a tragedy and an unforgivable sin,
But, those same words and beliefs were spoken a month ago
In another state and another community we all know.
Then there were more sentiments, compassion and speeches
Telling us all what the Bible teaches,
And as the words were given by a local politician;
They are all worthless and useless to the murdered children.
Let's take a moment to honor that great sacrifice
When our brave young children paid the greatest price,
They laid down their lives while not safe from harms
Just to protect gun owners rights to bare arms.
