Beat The Drum

by Williliam P Marino
(Billerica, MA)

Beat the drum for non violence dum dum,dud da, dum.
So Newtown children not be forgotten like some,
We have to keep beating, like unconditional hearts.
We have to beat violence before it starts.

Sing out for non violence la la la la la.
Greed and Profit have gone too far.
Bushmaster weapons are out of stock.
It just took a weekend after Newtown was rocked.

Rock for non-violence with a guitar.
Sandy Hook children and teachers become rock stars.
Even though they have earthly departed.
Beat the drums to the rhythm, they started.
