thoughts, prayers,
 
likes, shares
 
walks, signs
 
March cries
 
another child dies

moment by moment
 
ticking by
 
each sign
 
artfully devised
 
stomping grounds
 
BOOM

millions of feet
 
BOOM
 
BOOM
 
stepping in time
 
BOOM
 
BOOM
 
history made
 
side by side

words, posts,
 
pics, pokes,
 
shots that don't kill
 
sticks and stones
 
but words
 
never
 
hurt

or do they
 
hurt
 
just enough
 
to do the damage
 
needed?

if love were a weapon,
 
what would it look like?
 
if peace were loaded
 
like bullets
 
into chambers
 
when it fired,
 
what would it sound like?

what is our fight?
 
our mission?
 
our position?
 
tactics?
 
purpose?
 
ignition?

oh fire
 
oh hide
 
oh run
 
don't die

whose pride
 
whose lies
 
whose fear
 
who's left
 
to unwind
 
these threads
 
we've weaved
 
tangled
 
mess made
 
consequence paid
 
BOOM
 
BOOM
