One Wonders When This Will End
One wonders when this will end, these shootings, these tragedies.
One wonders how many of our kids have to die before we say, “That’s enough.”
One wonders how many more smiles we have to lose, how many I love yous we have to miss, how many weddings will never take place, how many grandchildren will never be born.
One wonders how many more mothers and fathers will have to lean over their children’s coffins crying, devastated, broken.
One wonders when it will be illegal for politicians to be bought by special interest groups.
One wonders if our frightened politicians will ever do what the majority of Americans want and enact reasonable gun control to save our children’s lives.
One wonders what gifts the children lost could have brought to this world.
One wonders.
In tears and grief, one wonders.
Peace.
I wonder myself – is money more important than a life? Seems to be.
