Violence

Violence occurs all around us
no matter where we choose
to go. We want to do a lot
for the community that we
are in but fail to realize
that violence will keep
happening somehow. Whether
you're at a tailor shop or a
fast food restaurant, you
will always hear a young
teenager being shot to
be careful. Even if you
bring a maze with with you,
9 times out of ten. You
may not make it alive.
Instead of seeing caps
and gowns, we see caskets and
memorial in honor of our
loved ones that we lost.
We ask ourselves:
Why is that happening?
There is always a
statistic being made
for someone who was
involved in violence.
Let's put the guns down
and protect our community
as a whole.
