American School Shooting

Dangerous trend indeed,

A safety check is the need,

We can't ignore and proceed,

This was a monstrous deed,

Hearts of all severely bleed,

To save children I plead,

A happy life, they must lead

We must work with top speed,

Minds of lads we must read,

We must remove every weed,

All must plant peace-seed,

To sarcasm, none must heed,

Ridiculing is a sinful misdeed,

All with him so cruelly disagreed,

Lisping attacked him with greed,

So, to do a crime, he did proceed,

No love to make his gloom recede,

Love of none came to supersede,

He did a horrendous deed indeed


When a boy is put to harassment,

He acquires severe disappointment,

Already lisping is his ailment,

Via love, he must get bailment,

If his mind, other lads torment,

Damage done will be permanent,

He lived a life with a sad sentiment,

So, this atrocity was his commitment,

Can't others have a kind agreement

With him to do some anointment?

Everyone had with him disagreement,

He was a cursed soul under Firmament?


He could do nothing to defend

When others did severely offend,

This brought many kid"s sand end,

To buy guns, he could easily spend,

He faced in life everywhere bend,

To befriend him, none did recommend,

To his woes, even God didn't attend,

His ailment, no doctor could mend,

Jitters to his mind, others did send,

Upon none he could depend,

So, to do a crime, he did descend,

The Unconnected had a tragic end?
