Hello, this is a heartfelt and important entry for the 8 Words or Less Poem contest. If only the politicians who want to create change weren't blocked so strongly by others under the influence of the NRA lobby.
Sad, all around.
Take care,
Erika

Yes. Totally agree.
Comment from Wendy G
Eight powerful words filled with compassion, grief and despair, and accompanied by a very powerful image, a stark reminder. It won't stop and nor can politicians make it stop, as it needs every individual to make a decision not to act in a self-centred way, and also to offer support to those who are struggling. This won't happen because fear makes people turn inwards and become self-protective, understandably. Well written. Best wishes for the contest.

You chose eight words that show us the horrible effects of these mass shootings. These have to stop and we need to look to other countries where they banned guns. Unfortunately, these days they can print their own guns...Best wishes in the contest!

A heartbreaking poem on gun violence and lost young lives. You use the short verse concisely to get your point across and strike into the heart of the reader. Well done.
