GUN VIOLENCE

GUN VIOLENCE

Everyday I hear about children dying due to Gun Violence.

As a teenager I can understand why other teens use this to put their hated ones to silence.

But as children we need to understand there’s more to life.

Yeah, there is more to life. Hmm, but let me clarify that.

As children we need to understand there’s a better thing to do then risk being locked up for taking someone else’s life.

We are the future, a friend told me.

And as children we need to make a stand to show what we actually can be.

Young entrepreneurs doing something positive with our minds,

Not using Gun Violence, not committing crimes.

But taking a stand and showing everyone what’s really on our minds.

The sky is the limit; let’s believe this to the fullest.

So quit using Gun Violence and shouting out these bullets.
