Unmendable Wounds

Well-being! Well-being!

Yours, ours interweave

Yours impinge on ours

Ours are constantly at stake

You want your right

To keep and bear arms

We want our children

Free of danger in school

Get educated and grow up

Children’s lives lost

Our well-being consumed

When you indulge yours

At the cost of ours

Parents’ tears never get dried

Heartbreaks never healed

What price we have to pay

To keep our well-being

When unchained weapons

Continue to inflict unmendable wounds
