TWENTY FEWER (December 15/12)
There’ll be 20 fewer children at school today
There’ll be 20 fewer children on the grounds, at play
There’ll be 20 fewer children on the swings to sway
There’ll be 1 more soul in hell, let us pray
Let’s take the guns from their hands
Put their hands in ours
Encourage them to talk
No more tracing kids with chalk
It’s tough to make sense
Because there’s no sense at all
It’s tough to make sense
Because there’s no sense at all
We’ll just clip on a ribbon
And move on with our days
Just wait for the next
Need to act, not just say
Nothing to see here
Nothing to see, hear
Nothing to be, fear
Nothing to free, dear

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."
