Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students give me hope
That the NRA has finally got sufficient rope
To go hang themselves. As A+ members call their bluff,
It feels like the tide has turned. The country's had enough.
Where the politicians feared to tread, these students dare.
Long time donors mailed in checks made out for "thoughts and prayer."
Companies are pulling their support as pressure grows
To do something - even though the lobbyists oppose.
Maybe, when the worst already happens (if you live)
You begin to find inaction harder to forgive.
Maybe all that righteous anger aimed at us adults
Has a halfway decent chance of getting some results.
I'm afraid to hope for much... I wouldn't bet the store.
NRA has weathered many storms like this before.
I pray it's the tipping point and we'll get something done
(Anything but giving Sister Margaret a gun.)
