A day at school

gun shooting at a school.

I watched it happen,

I just sat there,

I should've done something,

No one cared,

 

The words overwhelmed my head,

"Fight, Fight Fight!"

A teaher, and a student,

One of them will be dead,

 

I should do someting,

But I want to run,

When out of his pocket,

The kid pulls out a gun,

 

The halls are filled with laughter,

But they don't really think its funny,

they are just saying "Sure as hell glad that ain't me"

The truth hidden behind their smirks of glee,

 

The teacher laying on the ground,

Her blood splattered all around,

She has had enough strife,

Out of her pocket she pulls a knife,

 

The student picked her up by the collar,

"Your going to Hell!" the teacher hollered,

I knew now was my time to run,

Despite the blaring of the gun,

 

I ran to the office,

Reported sobbing to the nurse,

We darted down the hall,

But by then he'd killed them all

horrible story very well told...

[Quill]

well done on the visual. with all the junk in the news about this stuff, it's a bit hard to see it pop up in art and literature, but literature follows culture and so you have spoken to our culture. well done, but a sad commentary on humanity.

Did that really happen to you?

Oh my goodness.

I'm sorry if it did. You sure do know how to rythme and get your feelings out though. Great Job!

[O.J.]

geez.... I hope that didn't really happen. I wouldn't be surprised though, it's America after all (well I guess it is America?)...
Nice work, the rhyme, rhythm and everything.....
Keep writing...
