Guns Are Not OK

     by Bethany Fernandez

History always repeats itself

And in this case, it goes in reverse

Groundbreaking laws are shifted

Into something much worse

The world wants “protection,”

But at what cost

For the thing they deem “protection”

Is what’s causing so much loss

Guns are all around

Baby children are killed every day

Can’t even be safe in school

Guns are not OK

Are guns more important than children?

Because the world is going wild

Thinking that having your own rifle 

Is superior to the life of a child

They’re kept inside homes

They’re brought inside schools

Nobody is safe

When guns have no more rules
