Senseless killings beyond my comprehension
A human tragedy without apprehension
The whole nation mourns so does the heaven
Gloomy days shrouded the yuletide season
Young lives were gone because of a gun
How many more shall perish before it's gone
Many hearts were filled with grief and broken
Memories were etched on our souls as a token
Gun control and regulations became a loud cry
Some lawmakers agreed - it's worth a try
But for an association who likes to keep it high
More guns will keep us safe and dry
"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun,"
Someone said, "is a good guy with a gun."
Seems like Buffalo Bill in the days of Deadwood
Also blamed media, video games and Hollywood
While the debates are going on
More lives will never see another dawn
Will I live to see the day
that everyone lives in harmony?
Weigh-in your fifty-cent opinion
Before anyone goes into oblivion
On the pros and cons of gun control
As well as an armed posse patrol
Do guns really kill people or people kill people?
Do guns really kill people or people kill people?

This is my tribute to the victims of gun shooting in a Newtown, Connecticut school. I wrote this after I saw the news on TV but somehow I always get choked and ran out of words.
