We look to our teachers for answers
We question away
But it seems like our inquiries just bounce back
Amplified all the more by the dry erase board

We look to our clergy for answers
We question away
But it seems like our inquiries only echo
Resonating in church’s hollow hallowed halls

We look to our doctors for answers
We question away
But it seems like our inquiries go unnoted
Stifled by the power of healthcare dollars

We demand of our government answers
We question away
But it’s clear that our inquiries won’t be answered
But drowned out by sounds of firepower
