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
