When wrath wraps its knuckles
around the butt of a knife
do we raise our voices or do we keep silent?
When wrath cocks its finger
on a guns’ trigger,
do we wail in anger or do we keep silent?Let’s join voices with those of babes
let’s stop this madness
that we may be saved

Love this call to action, Viv!💜 Wrath is a storm that has power to destroy everything in its way. May we find the courage and strength within and be saved.

Those Parkland kids are something aren’t they? I am happy to let them lead the way. Perhaps they will succeed where my generation failed.
