     This is a dedication to fifteen people
     Some of them fellow teens
     Who will now never see another sunrise
     Who will now never grow up

     Who leave a rift not only in their families
     But in many others
     But in the entire nation 
     Maybe even the world

     Fifteen others 
     Who won’t be able to be themselves
     Who can’t
     Because of two

     Because of a little bit of anger
     And some thoughts that went bad
     There are fifteen
     Who can no longer view the world

     Fifteen
     Imagine
     Lives torn
     People grieving

     And if you think about it
     Really hard
     You realize
     That’s fifteen more than it should be
