A Gaslight in the Attic: Thoughts and Prayers
Thoughts and Prayers
Thoughts and prayers
Thoughts and prayers
When I tweet it
It gets lots of shares!
___
This is the only way
To combat guns,
But why is it still happening?
It’s already been done!
___
We’ve prayed on it so much
We’ve kept them in our thoughts,
But week after week
They keep taking shots!
___
We follow the Constitution
Laid out by our descendants,
Like the right to bear arms
It’s the second amendment!
___
Why change what we believe
As the world changes too?
Why should we rewrite the laws
And start anew?
___
Limit gun access and
Provide background checks?
What would they like
Banning assault rifles next?!
___
With every shooting tragedy
I’ll still send my thoughts and prayer,
Because without them,
It would seem, I really don’t care.
