[Jennifer Prestholdt @JPrestholdt]

Don’t look away
Again.
Don’t "Twitter outrage" "thoughts & prayers" this.
See the children who died today.
11:30 am on a Tuesday in late May.
Seven to ten years old.
You and I both know they were probably just thinking about what was for lunch.
When the world turned upside down.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

What might we be if only we tried.
What might we become if only we’d listen.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

The truth is, one nation under guns.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if
