The School

The School   (Renku)


halls run with blood, red
brains and flesh smear locker doors
hearts beat the last drop

children creep and hide
a dark shadow haunts the school
bursts of bullets kill 

soft crying stifled
will the nightmare never end?

finally, silence 
except the whispered pleas heard
 to god, to anyone
