Valentine’s Day 2018
Media reports the year’s 18th act of on-campus violence
Thoughts and questions are all we feel
Outraged and shattered, still too raw to heal
And yet the government greets us with silence
We gather together, rising and forming an alliance
The lives lost are real
There are gun laws to appeal
Together we will alter history with our defiance
Changing of times starts now
The people to spread gun education and regulation are us
Our determination is a seed we are just beginning to sow
Ms. Gonzalez and her community informed us what society shall no longer allow
We’re entitled to safety after stepping off the school bus
‘Parkland will be the last,’ my inflamed generation avows
