When will we realize ?

Sometimes simple questions don't have simple answers.

When will we realize

that guns in the wrong hands

take and not save lives?


Every day on the news

a new family is torn apart

and it breaks my heart.


When will we realize

that it is absurd

to think today’s youth will go unheard?


They are crying out to us through rap

and screaming out to us through song

but we turn a deaf ear

and act as if nothing is wrong.


When will we realize

that lack of education

allows little girls think they are women

and little boys think they are men?


 


 


When will we realize


that if we do not take action soon


 


mankind as we know it


 


may never see another moon

Interesting ... realize, I think we might, but action is what will make things right, I hope.
