What is the Value of Life?

What is the value of life and how is it perceived today? It does not seem to have any value at all.
I hear bullets as another dead body falls. The problem is gun violence has become an epidemic. You can read about it on the news or watch it occur in your neighborhood. I am writing about the subject of gun violence because it plagues my soul. I take it personally when our youth is lost due to gun violence.
I am the mother of three girls, and I want them alive. This weekend a young life was lost due to gun violence. He was murdered at Bowen Park in Waukegan, Illinois.
The police could not get any witnesses to speak about what happened. Again, I pose the question What is the value of life? What is necessary to get the community involved?
Almost everyone has lost someone due to gun violence, however it is time to put an end to this epidemic. People can stop the epidemic if we truly care about life. I leave you with one final question, Are you going to wait to do something? The next victim could be your family member.
