Little Boy with a Big Issue

Tell your daddy she can't move,

you paralyzed a child's soul..

her dream of becoming a ballerina

crumbled out on the floor.



Tell your mommy he said sorry,

for when you punched him in the nose,

he didn't know what he did wrong.

As the blood covered his clothes.



Tell your parents that you won

when you held up your father's gun.

The cafeteria emptied as

the confused souls did run!



We hear of all the tragedy

We see it on the news

It’s really bad when now we sigh

And just turn off our TV.



How do kids expect to live

With freedom and dignity

When they are scared to learn and play

Or to laugh when they’re at school.

Whow, a quite heavy tone lightly put but enough inside it to be a good solid read.
Enjoyed.
