The picture cuts to a school forsaked,
Shots were fired the sounds rang out,
Horrific acts and death about,
Terror scrambled through the air,
The scent of blood everywhere,
Running, pushing, falling too,
Where to run ~ What to do?
The police arrive and then the news,
Terrorized parents descends in broods,
The gathering crowd silently pray,
That their loved ones didn’t die today,
As families find and grab hold so hard,
Other families are being cut by shards,
As the smoke settles so does the fray,
Two more children died today,
Children killing children is new of late,
A ticking bomb ignited by hate,
Usually brought on by ill words and deeds,
Worse when others pretend they don’t see,
Snobs and bullies play their games,
Believing they’re funny ~ Never ashamed,
Words and deeds do take a toll,
Little by little it destroys a soul,
Hate begets hate which takes a life,
Leaving others behind learning to cry,
All lives touched and changed for good,
Depression seeking it’s own box wood,
Darkness has fell all through this town,
As earth covers two burial mounds,
A journey now starts although not seen,
Each step a nightmare of sleepless scenes,
Not asleep, not awake, just barely alive,
How are these families supposed to survive?
Moms and dads who can’t even speak,
Brothers and sisters who cry in their sleep,
Friends who relive those moments of horror,
Stripped of their pals ~ Robbed of tomorrow,
Living and laughing now play in their minds,
Rewinding and playing it one more time,
Hearing voices that are no longer,
Makes their loss so much stronger,
The walking wounded hide their pain,
A few are close to meeting “insane”,
The mind is fragile ~ The young are frail,
How will they survive their “Day-in-Hell”? [comments] => 2 [counter] => 173 [topic] => 67 [informant] => tifrob [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 13 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => schoolproblems )
