A Generation of Change to Come

[theonethatisme]

We’re screaming now.
Can you hear us?
Beating down doors.
Spikes through heads.

Not.

We rally.
We vigil.
We scream
Through the silence.

We’re together.
A united force.
You can’t take us down
With the names from before.

A knife through the heart
Will kill a man
But a knife through a wall
Is impossible

We stand for those
Who stand no more
Alyssa, Scott, Martin, Nicholas, Aaron, Jaime,
Chris, Luke, Cara, Gina, Joaquin, Alaina,
Meadow, Helena, Alex, Carmen, Peter

We sing when we speak of them
We scream when we speak of fate
Not fate
Not them

A brother, a sister, a daughter, a son
An uncle, an aunt, a nephew, a niece
Grandparents to come
Grandchildren once was
Never again

We fight against what killed them
And scream to you “No more”
In hopes that all our efforts won’t turn into a damn war
Again

Bravo. I can think of no better reply to this call to action than to echo the second to last line in my agreement.

I can really feel the frustration

so im from Florida. I know people who knew people at Parkland. I had a friend once that was from Littleton, CO. It's a shame that it's getting to the point where I know more people effected by mass shootings than other things....And I live 45 minutes from Orlando and knew people who were involved in the Pulse shooting there.

You're not alone. There are those of us out there who hear your voice and are screaming too. We're pushing. We just need to make the rest realize that life is more important than a trigger.
