Baby Obituaries
Obituaries Are not meant For ten year olds The are for the elders Who have had paragraphs Full of life With children Who will carry on To keep their memories alive Obituaries Are not meant For elementary students They are meant for sudden illness Crashes, accidents, or Cancer’s gruesome grip As a way of solace A remembrance Of some life’s trip But how do you pay tribute To a life yet to be lived The loss of potential Snuffed out by another kid How many more children Have to watch their friends die All while looking a steel killing machine Dead in the eye Obituaries Are not meant For school kids They are meant for old men With more guns than sense In bed with the NRA A bullet for me And two for you When will something change?
