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.
