Another School Shooting…2005
30 days early and Another Blame to hold
Six years and the halls do ring again,
‘Boom, then no more screams’ headline,
Do you blame the culture again for this?
Ask a rock song for a motive it never knew,
‘Lockdown, Lockdown’ marks the paper print,
A call so pointless when the scars won’t heal.
Loose the family, who helped you grow to this,
Calls to mothers because you’re scared and young,
A wooden door now a shield from silver shards,
‘No, quit, no Jeff, quit, quit’ a desperate plea,
This seems to happen just when the storm has calmed,
Now even security’s no longer a barrier to intent.
When will Hitler have his fill of heartbreak?
Suspect nazi learning as a cause for pain,
Gothic markings made a stand you saw,
A disillusioned youth with tendencies,
That’s what you said when he walked your halls,
He seemed ‘weird’; scratch that word from use.
We’ve studied the people that came before,
You came after the films we watched with awe,
Trying to find a reason why a hall held pain,
Breaking open motives to find them empty,
‘I don’t much care for jail’ you said before,
Maybe now the screams will mark your hell.
