The following is a poetic prayer of pain & grief to God after hearing about the Mass Shooting in Uvalde, Texas, USA at Robb Elementary School. My prayers, thoughts, condolences go to all the families hurt in this tragedy. Hopefully one day in the near future real change will happen so we never repeat the phrase ‘not again’.
Not Again……
I scroll to discover another mass shooting in my home country.
19 kids under 11 killed for no reason…
2 adults trying to protect them…..
A President gives a far too familiar heart felt speech…
Promising change and a stand against the NRA.
Does this mean a rejection of all the pro-gun lobby groups?
Their money funded every political official’s campaign……
Not Again….
A misconstrued commandment made when there were no automatic or semi-automatic weapons……
Before a National Military was sworn to protect the land….
Commandments were never meant to be static….
They are a living organism….
19 kids under 11 killed for no reason….
2 adults trying to protect them…
A hurt traumatised young men pulled a trigger to easily accessible…
The debate will run its course again….
Advocating both sides while….
19 kids under 11 & 2 adults are buried….
Endless debates that too often led to zero change…
Leading me to say……
Not Again……far too soon.
God help us change so we never again have to say….
Not Again.
