Us
Life taken for granted
Gone unexpected
Loved ones left behind
Not understanding
“Pray for us!”
We say
But it’s us that’s killing us, or them controlling us
Or the mother’s and fathers that didn’t know how to raise us
Or our neighborhoods, school, friends, and environment
I don’t know where the blame lies, I know I don’t want any more of us to die
Who saves us
Who changes us
The answer is simple
We are the people the strong and proud
We don’t need saving by the government or anyone
We as a people united and positive will save us

The author encourages honest critique.
you raise some poignant and profound questions dear friend there in this positive expression of yours
and yes only the closest ones feel the most impact of the loss, and mourning and not doing anything is not the answer and yes the answer lies within us
and nobody else.
