Students march in defiance of history.

Too many school shootings since Columbine.

Too many innocent people murdered

Students march in the wake of political apathy.

Tired of the knee-jerk “Thoughts and prayers”

But never any action to stop the violence.

Students march so their voices

Can be heard.

Adults try to stop them

To silence them.

But they won’t be.

We bear witness to

A movement.

That is only just

Getting started.

Adults have had endless chances

To make things right.

Now it’s the younger generation’s turn.

To make the change

That connects them all.

One dream.

One voice.

One message.

“Make Us Safe.”
