Words Are All I Have

I truly believe in the right to bear arms. I also truly believe that we don't need to bear assault rifles. But then there's that militia thing. I also believe in a well-armed militia being our final line of defense (not sure about the "regulated" part). I don't know where the answer lies, but I do know this - our innocents should not be paying the price.

Here is my contribution to the cause:

Innocents Lost

By Ann Wilmer-Lasky

 

Layer by layer,

The onion loses life, peeled,

By insanity.

 

Death by senseless death,

The world loses innocents;

Heaven gains its stars.

 

The tears of angels

Flood our universe with grief —

The tipping point gained,

 

Its settling unknown —

Known only this — attention,

This time, must be paid.
