Charlie

By Kinsey Jones

Our peace has been broken

Our hands are no longer free

Our speech has been silenced

All due to a crime

An incident that should have never happened

Maybe it could even have been prevented 

We are not free in this country anymore

We are trapped 

Our hands are tied 

Our mouths sewn closed

We stand for freedom

We stand for rights and liberty

But when do we finally say enough is enough?

This is no longer left versus right

It will be humanity versus insanity

The events that occurred on 9/10

We will never unsee

For those who suffer in silence 

Speak now or forever hold your peace.
