WHY MY BELOVED COUNTRY?
ANOTHER MASS SHOOTING
ONE MORE TRAGIC DAY
ANOTHER MADMAN TERRORIST
LOST, GRIEVING
WE PRAY
THE MEDIA DRILL
ROLLS OUT THE SAME
WHO DID THE SHOOTING
WHO DID HE KILL?
WHAT WAS HIS NAME?
AND WHAT ABOUT MOTIVES?
ON HALLOWED GROUND
MORE FLOWERS LAID
WITH FLICKERING VOTIVES
SYMBOLS OF LIGHT
OF EACH LOSS PROFOUND
THERE IS A FIGHT
AHEAD
WE MUST FIGHT
WHY MY BELOVED COUNTRY
HAVE WE NOT YET RESOLVED?
THIS ISSUE OF GUNS
HAVE OUR LEADERS DISSOLVED?
WITH TEARS POURING OUT
FROM SO MANY EYES
ARE GUN RIGHTS MORE PRECIOUS
THAN OUR OWN CHILDREN’S LIVES?
TOO LITTLE ACTION
TOO MANY WHY’S
THROUGH RIVERS OF BLOOD
OUR GREAT NATION CRIES
WE CAN’T HOLD BACK
A GREAT NATION CRIES
THE FLOOD OF TEARS
IN OUR AMERICAN EYES
