This is a poem that I wrote just a few hours after I learned about the mass shooting that happened in the Pulse Night Club in Orlando, Florida. It simply doesn't matter whether or not the members of that night club were gay; they were human beings. They have as much right to be on this Earth as anyone else, and did not deserve the disgusting act that was done to them. My hearts are forever with their family members and friends. These were my immediate thoughts after learning of the event.

It seems like every week, innocent people die

And then our government pretends to not know why

They make fake promises to win all the polls

But they're missing the real issue: GUN CONTROL

Innocent lives are lost every day

And yet, we simply decide to look the other way

But when you attack our core human values, such as love and religion

We have to now realise our true mission

Better control on who gets weapons, and also what kind

This'll hopefully get us one step closer to saving mankind

And hopefully one day, we'll learn to respect one another

And treat everyone around us like a sister and a brother

Until that day comes, I will always pray

And continually post that we'll see that glorious day

Today unfortunately, 50 beautiful lives were forced to go

My thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims of Orlando
