ya been on the streets lately
had to kill to survive lately
been inside a (yours maybe) child
mind lately
live in LA, or NY
goto vegas lately
gotta gun
got a gun
killed a kid
gotta kid that's killed lately
live in the midwest
seems to be kids killin kids
gotta copy lately
it's now, and do you know where your guns are


it's still now, know where you were
kent state, what weren't you fighting for
bite hard, you're gonna be alright
don't worry the government knows what's right
"mental targets are close"
"sicko targets are close"
It's sickening to think that oil fields are secure
when children at home are this secure

Sorry hon but had to edit a little, know you understand..
But what can we do to stop the maddness, sometimes only writing poems isn't enough...  What can we do as a country and/or world to make a difference?
Here, down under, we don't have guns in schools, it's simply not heard of.  And we are thankful.  I feel so sorry for the youth of America having to deal with the added threat of violence as well as all the other crap they have to deal with at school.
So how can we make a difference?????  
But also you must not take it personally hon, like I feel you are, you alone cannot move mountains, you need help to do that.
Worrying yourself sick over it, won't change it.
Glad to see you here again hon...

Carolinadreams:

I Think this poem tells the truth. I agree w/ Isis when she said everyone has to pull together to stop the volience. Latley thats all that seems to be on the news or in the paper. Another school shooting. I'm scared to see what this world will be like when I have kids one day. Makes you really wonder what is going on inside these kids heads! Some arn't kids anymore but some are thats whats really crazy!

I hate the shootings
kids killing kids
I cry for families I don't even know
Innocent parents and Ignorant parents
both burying their young
Impressive thought, thank you.

Victims, aren't we all?

as paul in the mall i saw
fall is much better for the mall
a quote from "

"Hi, my names Paul. I am a stereotypical cliche. Want to go to the mall?"

as fears with peers, inside tears and jeers
subjugate sense with fiction
walden has a sale on diction

aren't our lives just exciting


or maybe we're just

religious


Sorry all, I might've missed that one.

Thanks
