When will this cycle of forgetting end?

February 14, 2018,

17 people were murdered

Yet they are forgotten.

20 children and 6 adults were murdered

Yet they are forgotten.

October 27, 2018

A little over a month ago

11 people were murdered

Yet they are forgotten.

We forget

We forget about these victims

But do you know who doesn’t forget?

The families

The people who will walk this world for the rest of their lives

With a hole

In their heart.

They don’t forget.

But we will

 

We always do.

So it will never stop.

This piece is a poem about the amount of gun violence in America and how after it happens, we forget after it's no longer on the news.
