It Shouldn't Be Normal

Updated: Aug 21, 2022

It shouldn’t be normal

The incessant headlines of tragedy

It shouldn’t be normal

The repetitive cycles of grief

It shouldn’t be normal

The empty statements of condolences

It shouldn’t be normal

The apathetic ploys of the powerful

It shouldn’t be normal

The easy accessibility of weapons

It shouldn’t be normal

The inevitable replay of arguments

It shouldn’t be normal

The predictable outcome of inactivity

It shouldn’t be normal

The ensuing onset of numbness

It shouldn’t be normal

Lord, we need a new normal
