Caught, Trapped

jangling nerves... tense, taut... darting to and fro… caught... trapped whimpering feebly... The brave gunman licks his lips... duck soup... easy prey... unarmed

A fearful situation - explosive and always imminent - school violence is escalating all over the world - very sad Gershon sitting ducks, but what about teenagers and concerts also? Hugs, Jennifer.

The poor duck. I like how you wrote this; in a different way. Unique poem.

Perhaps you're right, Line... I just feel for all the unprotected schools out there. How foolish/naïve/negligent can they be?!

I cannot stomach those events as horrific it may be, sadly, for this be an old evil for this world, for school killings goes back to the beginnings when the world began to keep records GW

I'll order some popcorn for this summer's expected onslaught of 'School-shooter' flicks. ~ gw
