Shot Rings Out
Book Excerpt from There Is Sunshine After The Rain A Shot Rings Out As I walk down the street A shot rings out A scream is heard Another life is lost A mother’s child is gone There are protests Black Lives Matter Blue Lives Matter All Lives Matter All I know is a child is gone A gun is in the wrong hands Someone didn’t value a life Someone walked into a sacred place Took aim at the saints One by one their souls escaped A shot rings out Everyone is running Someone is trampled Someone just wants to go to the club with their friends Someone just wanted to walk down the street Someone just wanted to make it home A Shot Rings Out!!!!
