Every Day

Today I am here and I live in fear, fear of hate, guns, and violence 

Every day another shooting 

Every day another person is killed due to gun violence 

Every day the news, just a different face, and a new place

Nothing ever changes

Today I am here and I live in fear, fear of hate, guns, and violence

#metoo this and #blacklivesmatter that, none of it means anything, it doesn’t matter what we say or do, they will never change anything

But it can change if we start a revolution to change the constitution

If we speak up every day, one by one we will make a spark and it will burst into a flames

It will start to happen day by day, gun reform will save the day

Every day the news is always the same

There is always a shooting somewhere, and people giving thoughts and prayers

But that’s not enough to change the big things

Americans everywhere speak up for what’s right 

So we can start a revolution to change the constitution 

Today I am here and I live in fear, fear of hate, guns, and tears

This came to me the day after the Parkland shooting. It broke my heart to see those kids in that situation. Then it occurred to me gun lovers will never change and it is up to young people to make the world a better place
