America the brave,
America the beautiful.
I cannot fathom
how or why
someone would sell a distraught young man any kind of assault rifle,
or what could have happened to lead him on the dark and bloody path he left trailing today.
I can only hope
that all of the individuals responsible
for the 17 lives that were stolen and cut short earlier today
will be held accountable
without punishing others
or putting the families who have suffered
through any more agony.
What must we do
to ensure justice is served,
and the schools in America
are safer?
Protect the children Mr. President,
the world can wait for the lives of children to be spared.
