American Hypocrisy

We struggle
To find words 
That would sum up 
A life taken too soon.
We struggle because
It is against our nature
To mourn a child.
It is beyond our comprehension
To bury the young.
It is our biggest collective sin 
To normalize children's death.
'America the great.'
You call yourself. 
And you greatly wrap yourself in armor
And in your beloved AR-15. 
You talk of equality 
But you segregate.
You talk of woman's rights
But you abort their choices.
You talk of freedom
But you fill your prisons. 
All for financial gain.
All for financial gain.
All for financial gain.
And while you gain -
We the people lose. 
We the people lose. 
We the people LOSE.
