Texas Tragedy.



Children attend school on a daily basis to learn,
There is no excuse for a senseless murder and to watch them burn.
Parents and Teachers are suffering the loss of so many,
That there is no excuse to buy weapons and waste the taxpayer's money.
The monster who took away multiple lives,
Needs to open his ears and listen to the cries.
Guns don't belong on the streets at all,
Nobody deserves to die and others watch them fall.
The people really need to open their voices,
Because either safety or death are the main choices.
Schools are the place of learning,
Never a place to watch victim's famillies in mourning.
