"School Shootings"
by FB Back then we worried about kids failing grades We felt school started to become a safe place For our children Creating drills we believed we would NEVER have To use Little did we know they would come to use In 2019 we had 417 mass shootings Children were scared, injured, and dead Teachers forced to protect children with their lives Children protecting their peers. To this day many of those students think about What they could have done to stop it, them, help The truth is they couldn’t We lost 15,381 lives to a gun. To another human being. This is the highest rate since 2014. A school is no longer a safe place School is a battle zone just waiting to happen. A school is a place that takes away phones because, its a distraction but in reality how will we say goodbye to our loved ones if needed. Goodbye to the 15,381 people that have lost their lives Due to another human being! FB was a senior in Ms. Barbour's Poetry Today Elective in the Fall Semester. She enjoys expressing herself through writing.
