When Columbine happened the world was shaken up
When Sandy Hook happened we were surprised
When Parkland happened, we said that we see this kind of thing
So I'm sorry
That when you die in school
We will put your name on a list.
Added to the countless others
Whose whole lives are all one missed opportunity
Knowing this could have been avoided
I'm sorry we didn’t do all we could
To make sure it was avoided
Gun control isn’t about taking away everyone's guns
Or anyone’s rights
It's about making sure my life
Isn’t threatened by receiving an education
So students
I'm sorry that we are taking this long
But
Soon enough-
No one will have to be sorry anymore. . .
Sincerely,
41
