If You Are Seeing Red


If You Are Seeing Red

You should be seeing red
Not voting it
Your children are dying too
Guns don’t kill people
People do
Potatoe potahtoe

You should be seeing red
Not voting it
Color, creed and race divide
Yet death unites all mothers
Grieving the loss of children
Shot down before learning their ABCs

You should be seeing red
Not voting it
Abolishing abortion does not save a life
It may kill two
Ignoring gun control
Kills hundreds

If you are seeing red
Vote blue
