We Will Rise
February 27, 2018
We've screamed, and you have covered your ears.
We've prayed, and you are the reason they are unanswered.
We've cried, and you have distracted us with lies.
We've died, and you have ignored us.
But not anymore.
We are finished with the terror, finished with the fear, finished with the grief of more innocent lives lost. We will not be distracted by your insanity, we will not be strangled by your budget, we will not be subdued by your empty promises.
We are finished with shootings. And we will rise.
