March for Our Lives

People take to the streets.

Young people who have been failed 
by the generations in power.

Older people who are fed up with the people in
office who care more about themselves
then the people in the country, the ones 
who they're are supposed to be thinking about.

Children had to grow up too soon because
an act of violence shattered their innocence.

They've been forced to take action to try
to stop these situations that have become all
too common in America.

Lawmakers fear that if they speak up to change
the gun laws, they will lose their jobs.

How ironic,
thinking about themselves have made 
their fears come true.

Playing it safe in politics has led them
to the place they tried to avoid like the plague. 

There's a new generation who will be
voting for the first time this November.

They're angry for being abandoned by those 
who are supposed to be working for them.

A generation who aren't willing to
put up with bs.

They have learned the tragedies
of life too soon.

They have to practice shooting drills 
and  be aware of the fears of what
going to school and learning could be.

They can't fully focus on what is 
being taught because of events such
as these are too common and nothing 
is being done to prevent them.

So it keeps on happening.

As people take to the streets across 
the country and around the globe,
there is hope that change can happen.

Students can learn without fear.

Lawmakers will hear the outcries,
chants, and messages
from volumes of people 
and put in place laws to make these
tragic situations less likely to occur
in the future.

And if they don't, 
then the people marching
and many more will
vote them out this November.
