I walk into school
and check out the people pool.

Then tommy pulls out a gun.
He thinks this will be fun.

He pulls the trigger
and yells "I killed a nigger."

People run and slide
looking for a place to hide.

Alone standing there him and I.
He smiles and says, "Your gonna die!"

I say to him "I am not afraid"
He says,"I will not be played."

He shoots it off at my head.
I know that soon I will be dead.

I stood tall
and took the fall.

I wispered to tommy "My god is protecting me"
he then shot me in the knee.

Then god picked me up
Tommy looked like he would erupt.

For I died with a smile on my face.
I was being taken to gods special place.

Then tommy put the gun to his heart.
And sobbed "I am sorry! To Hell I make my start."

Tommy pulled the trigger full of shame.
But him my god didn't not blame.

Tommy's last words were "Forgive me god."
Then taking tommy's hand my god began to sob.

Why do we kill eachother.
How can you shoot another.

Jesus didn't die for this.
God's Love should be your bliss.

Stop that hate,
Before it's to late.

Dear Mel; This is a powerful message and if everyone your age were as close to God as you are, there wouldn't be a problem. I'm so glad that you have joined us here. Why not invite any of your friends that are spiritual to write some poetry for the forum? Love, Ellie

Mel, You really brought the message home. Until we (Americans) start demanding that we
put God back into our schools, I'm afraid the devil will have this sort of control. God continues to bless America, although He has been removed from practically every aspect of society. Your poem really pained my heart with your clear message. Very well written. God bless, Marcy

Dear Melbear,
Such a wonderful poem, I lived in a very bad part of Pittsburgh until ten years ago. We had drive-by shootings at the end of our street and a crack house across the street. Then we moved to the country. But it doesn't matter where you go if people don't know the Lord and don't know His word, how are they going to know how to love each other? This is an excellent poem, I know that the Lord is talking to you child. Keep up the good work.
May the God always protect you,
Glory be to God,
Erie
