Enough

They are marching,

not just for their lives,

and the lives of all schoolchildren,

but for us all.

They march for common sense,

justice, equality, fairness,

safe classrooms,

and a better world.

They ask that assault weapons 

be removed from the hands 

of the disturbed,

a reasonable request.

Their strong weapons:

their voices, their passion, 

their hope, their determination,

their courage,

and their ability, very soon,

to vote.

These kids have my full respect. They are amazing. They are not in thrall to money, corporate agendas, or political power, so their voices ring true and strong.  I cant wait till they replace the fat cats in the halls of power. A better world is on its way. I can hear it in the voices of the young.
