All In Vain

It's not the first time and unfortunately not the last
A presidential speech
To share the country's compassion
Words of comfort (all in vain)
To calm the families
To calm the storm

Why are people so stunned everytime it happens?
Depression is an endemic disease
Frustrated kids with broken dreams
A new Columbine in the land of the free
But still 12-year-olds can buy guns and ammo legally
The hammer of justice crushes you
