For Newtown

Late December
In Newtown,
Twenty-five people
Were shot down;
Many were sad
And many did cry,
There was no reason
For children to die.

“But what should we do?”
People asked the NRA,
The lobby then
Was quick to say:
“Guns are great
They don’t need rules,
Let’s put guns
In all the schools!”

Ignorant people
Bought semi-automatic,
Realizing the damage
They cause is traumatic;
But people are dumb
And people are rude,
They don’t understand
Their opinions are screwed.

Hunting is fine
And defending is good,
But an AR-15:
Not in a neighborhood;
This is something
That cannot wait,
We must act now
Before we’re too late.

Newtown we remember you
We owe you I say,
For the parents who lost
Their loved ones that day;
Something must happen
We need change somehow,
We need that change
To happen right now.
