Did you think of those children—
Hiding under desks
In closets & bathrooms—
Trembling with fear
As bullets rang out
From hall to hall
All while you screamed
“Not the CEO”
He was a family man
But tweeted—
Thoughts & prayers
With one hand
& gripped your Gun
in the other

It’s hard when the rejections come in more often and quicker than the requests.
