Charlie

A shot rings out under Utah's sky
One shot and a husband and father did die
A tragic moment of political violence
Nothing gained not even his silence 

Half mast the President does decree
As he blames the left with no evidence to see
Devisive talk making hearts grow harder
Don't be fooled because Charlie's no martyr 

The real story here is gun violence 
A national crisis met only by silence
A government in a lobbyist alliance
We the people must stand in defiance 

I pray for his kids and his wife
And am saddened that he lost his life
We need to think now rationally
And not be reactive emotionally 

Review the things he said and taught
Its clear a hero he is not
Though it does not justify his fate
His message was riddled with racism and hate 

The real story here is gun violence 
A national crisis met only by silence
A government in a lobbyist alliance
We the people must stand in defiance 

No martyr or a hero in some fight
A poster child for the hatred on the right
The flags should not be lowered for a podcast celebrity
What about all the kids in schools who die tragically 

This man's death is a painful tragedy
But he's no hero and caused harm nationally
A real hero would put an end to racial hate
Ending gun violence would make one great 

Charlie  i'm sorry you are a victim
Caught up in a hateful violent system
My prayer is your hatred ends allowing our daughters and sons
To live without hate violence fear and guns 

A new course America must charter
Remembering Charlie is not a martyr
