I wake up in the morning
and pray to God
she hears me
this violence must stop
we have in this world
so many doubts and
killings.
Gun violence knows no boundaries
it doesn’t matter who you are
or where you are
violence hurts everyone
violence is a form of ignorance
our spirits and our souls cry.
She hears us
she knows our pain
she knows our grief
and she is healing
us now as we speak.
Violence is wrong
violence is a part
of the devil and Satan
violence shows the ultimate
evil of people
when you think about gun violence
you think it couldn’t happen to you
but it does.
Violence kills
no matter the race
no matter the age
no matter the skin tone
we all die
we all feel pain
we all feel grief
and we know praying to her
will take it all away.
I was watching television
and it said the District
is the murder capital
of our planet
that means we need to ask
her for help
she will hear us
and heal us
we need change in this world.
When you beat your wife
that’s violence
when you bully others
that’s violence
when you do harmful things
that’s violence.
We need to know
we will all have peace
no more war
no more hunger.
No. More. Gun. Violence.
