Today's Youth

I look out the window, Yet nothing is there, The darkness surrounds me, As i'm frozen in fear, Then all of a sudden, The night is ablaze, Fire and screaming, I'm stunned in a daze, Communities broken, Families torn apart, Who could have done this, And how did it start, They had no real reason, To set it alight, To cause so much chaos, In my town that night, My small little school, Was burnt to the ground, But the very next day, There was more to be found, Bodies lay broken, Ripped apart by a sword, This is now what happens, When our youth got bored.
