"These things

Happen"

People get shot,

People die,

People kill.

"These things

Happen"

Innocent children

Lose their lives

On

Perfectly normal

Days in their

Perfectly normal

Schools.

"These things

Happen"

Unstable people

Buy and sell guns

And it isn't questioned

Even once.

"These things

Happen"

But why?

Innocent lives should be

Protected.

Guns should be

Extremely hard to find.

Unstable people should be

Helped.

These things

Happen,

But they shouldn't.

I still have a lot of thoughts about the Florida shooting. 

There was a shooting today only 20 minutes away from me. 

This is not okay.
