Another School Shooting
"Did you hear about another school shooting today?" They asked me. "Ten people, Texas." I didn't even flinch when they told me. And for the record, no I didn't know. I just keep watching Netflix on my laptop. Did you read that? The fact that another 10 people are dead due to gun violence didn't even phase me. I've become numb to news like that. And it's as if it has to happen close to home for me to even care. But I don't want that to be the reason I care. Because how tragic would that be? At least for the people who live here. I'm so sick of thoughts and prayers . While they're good intentions, that's all they are - intentions. Where's the action ? I know it's out there, somewhere. I just wish I could get back to the place where a school shooting, or any shooting, actually mattered to me.
