So, yeah, what happened in CT happened and it shook us to the core. Not because we think that's going to happen where we live, but because a child is an innocent. Pure innocence, in a sense.
When I watched tv back in the day and something happened to a child I thought,
Ah, a plot point.
But now, as a parent, when I watch tv and something happens to a child, I get amped up and can feel all my skin.
Nothing better happen to that child!
What happened last Friday was a horror and a senseless tragedy. We can talk about gun control and mental health till we make ourselves crazy and shoot each other in the face; although, it seems a pretty simple first step is to take away the guns.
No guns, no gun violence.
innocence
in a sense
young lives
pure vessels
learning math
reading
playing tag
climbing jungle gyms
walking up slides
drinking milk at lunch
eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches
on wheat bread
no crusts
apple slices
young lives
after morning bell
mowed down by bullets
steel shards
ripping through flesh
brains
and
tiny hearts,
tiny hearts stopping
innocence
in a sense
lost
