Time to stop the slaughter
Time to stop the pain
Time to end the flow of tears
That seems to pour like rain
We need to wash the blood away
We need love to make us strong
We need to come to common sense
As we argue right or wrong
Remember these are children
That are likely to pay the price
When greed replaces reason
With a dangerous device
Remember well their faces
Don’t forget their names
As you make the country safer
Or suffer more the same
About The Poem For Their Lives
For their lives is the theme of a series of marches around the country for gun control in response to the many school shootings. I’m not a gun owner myself, but I am a believer in responsible gun ownership. There are several common sense changes that can improve community safety without negatively impacting those who want to own guns responsibly. Unfortunately, politics and greed seem to get in the way of common sense.
Inspirational Poetry Books
Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

Inspirational Poetry Products
While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
