School Shootings

School Shootings
Miracle Man

School shootings can never be unseen,
they’re scenes, which children never forget.
Real life pictures that became obscene,
forcing children to live their lives in regret.

An evil person, their innocence has stolen,
young hearts now become filled with fear.
Sleepless nights, eyes red and swollen,
recalling daily those whom they held dear.
