I am a member

Of a generation

Who knows what it’s like to fear

A bang in the hallway.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who hears that bang

And feels the adrenaline

Rush through our blood,

And our muscles tense

In preparation to run.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who looks at the metal detectors

In the entryway

And wonders if it’s really enough.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who knows

That it isn’t.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who watched Sandy Hook

Fade into the distant memory

Of the past.

Fade into the distant memory

Of the people.

Fade into the distant memory

Of the politicians.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who watched Sandy Hook

And did not

Could not

Forget.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who looks at our loathing teachers

And wonder hysterically

“Would the cold,

Hateful man or woman

With nothing for us

But barbed words

And sharp scowls,

Step between us and a bullet

If that’s how the cards fell?”



I am a member

Of a generation,

Who looked at that teacher;

And knew for certain

The answer was “no”.



I am a member

Of a generation,

Who looked around the classroom

And wondered

“Which one of them

Would die first?”

“Which one of them

Would shield another with their body?”

“Which one of them

Would run without pause?”



I am a member

Of the generation

Who tries to pick a seat

Closest to the window,

So we could run

If we needed to.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who learned to huddle

In the corner,

Under tables,

In the closet,

Before we could count to

The number of children

Who died at Sandy Hook.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who watches

As more,

And more,

And more,

Children,

Innocent

Children,

Fall under a blaze of gunfire



I am a member

Of a generation

Who watches

The politicians

Send the families
“Hopes and prayers”,

And sends them nothing else,

While they line their pockets

With money and praise

From people who care

For little more

Than the rifles on their walls.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who watches

The Nation mourn

For a week,

And then move on,

Only to offer

More

“Hopes and prayers”

Next month,

When it happens again.



As though “hopes and prayers”

Would raise the fallen,

And save

The next group of children

On Death’s list.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who sees the name

Of the latest school,

And wonders

If our school

Will be next.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who sees the names

Of the latest victims

And wonders if our name,

Our friend’s name,

Our family’s name,

Will be next.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who walks into school

Everyday,

And wonders distantly

If it will be our last.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who plans for college

And wonders distantly

If we’ll even get there.



I am a member

Of a generation

That looks

At our younger siblings,

And knows

That they will know

To be afraid too.



I am a member

Of a generation

With police officers,

Who have sworn

To protect us,

That look upon a sea of

White men with machine guns,

And future's so stained

With dripping red blood,

That the names of the victims

Are unreadable,

And shoots

The black kid

With candy

Who would never

Hurt anyone.



I am a member

Of a generation

Who is tired

Of the fear,

Of the worry,

Of the jaded, dark laughter

That rings through our heads

When another one hits the news.

Because it’s either

Laugh or cry,

And if we cry,

We

Won’t

Stop.



26 died in Sandy Hook.



How many more coffins must we bury?



How many more threads must be cut?



How many more children must die

Before something changes?

Im glad to see people like Rabbi Eric H. Yoffie speaking up about
The Gun culture and warped perception of second admendment rights.

the gun nuts, a single-issue minority too often motivated by intolerance and filled with hate, Jennifer?

Gun Worship Is Blasphemy
12/18/2012 07:34 pm ET Updated Feb 17, 2013

Above all, let us remember this: Sensible gun-control is a religious issue.

The indiscriminate distribution of guns is an offense against God and humanity.

Controlling guns is not only a political matter; it is a solemn religious obligation. Our gun-flooded society has turned weapons into idols, and the worship of idols must be recognized for what it is: blasphemy. And the only appropriate religious response to blasphemy is sustained moral outrage and focused moral action.

There is not a single word in the sacred Scriptures of the Christian, Jewish or Islamic traditions that either opposes commonsensical gun control or supports the idea of some God-given right to automatic weapons that fire 100 shots in a single minute.

Yes, our constitution gives us certain guarantees when it comes to gun ownership. But there is nothing in the constitution that says we are entitled to own weapons with a magazine of more than eight to 10 bullets. There is nothing that obligates us to go along with what the NRA has long advocated: the right of almost any terrorist suspect, deranged person, wife-beater and crook to buy almost any weapon at almost any time, no questions asked.

When these terrible tragedies occur, our nation looks to its religious leaders and its places of worship to provide comfort to the victims and solace to a stricken nation. And it is important that we should do so; we have the capacity to mobilize communities of the faithful, to provide love and caring to those in distress, and to hold our fellow Americans together when anguish and fear are driving us apart.

But at this moment, more is needed of the religious community. As men and women of God, we need to take the moral offensive and demand that something be done.

My plea to every pastor, priest, rabbi and imam in America: This is not the time for the usual platitudes. And yes, we need programs for troubled teens and fewer bloodthirsty movies and hideous video games. But we also need to take on the gun nuts, a single-issue minority too often motivated by intolerance and filled with hate.

When it comes to guns, Americans have learned to be cynical. They have learned that no matter how great the outrage, the entrenched gun interests are always triumphant. But as religious leaders, we know what this leads to. We know that when good people back down again and again; when the gun worshipers are rewarded with ever-more radical pro-gun legislation; when the corpses of the dead, lying bloody before us, are ignored; and when the zealotry and folly of the pro-gun lobby are not confronted by the forces of sanity, the result is fatalism and despair, undermining faith in government and faith in God.

I understand that gun control is not a simple matter; that compromise will be necessary; and that honest, well-intentioned people will differ on exactly what measures are required. But we must make a start. Surely this is the moment to create a coalition of sensible citizens, willing to come forward and say no to the deadly toll that guns are taking on the lives of our children. Surely this is the time to reach out to politicians, of all persuasions and all parties, and ask them to put the welfare of our children and the safety of our citizens ahead of petty, partisan concerns. And surely religious leaders and institutions — obligated to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with their God — should lead the way.

If this massacre of innocents in Newtown will not rouse the nation’s conscience, then nothing will. Therefore, this is the moment to mobilize the idealism, energy and anger of the American people.

If Americans are to stop the slaughter and find their higher selves, religious leaders have a critical role to play — but they can only do so much. The President of the United States must lead the way.
