Necessary



4.8.13

Is it Newtown or your kid’s school?
You see it online or you get a text
Something happened at the school
You better get there
What good does having a gun
In your house if the predator is
Walking around free to end some
Long ago unintentional wrong
The pain on the parents’ faces
Whether it be Columbine or Aurora
Is palpable but the pain in the shooter’s
Soul is also very real
As is the pain in the culprit’s family
No one wants to acknowledge that
No one and yet they say
This or that is not the answer
There are many answers and all are
Necessary.
