guns down



In Eldorado Park, where streets are lined with pain,
And gun shots echo through the night,
Where mothers weep for sons who've lost their fight,
And children cower in fear again.

Where once there was a sense of community,
A place where all were welcomed with a smile,
Now fear and violence reigns and while
The innocent are caught in harm's degree.

But hope still lingers in the hearts of those,
Who fight for peace and love to reign once more,
They march and rally, and they make a cause,
For gun violence to be a thing of yore.

So let us join in this great fight,
To bring peace back to Eldorado's night.
