Young Rage

What's wrong with kids today,
Our schools full of terror?
Lives just taken away,
Filling others with despair.

One bullet from a gun
Hands down such a terrible fate.
A reason to which there's none,
Only a soul full of hate.

What creates such rage,
Causing tragedy and chaos?
Teens on a killing rampage,
All their innocence lost.

Jonnesborro, Littleton, others too,
Will it ever end?
Our future's dying in school,
A place it should begin.

We must end this outrage
And fight to save our young.
Give them the wisdom to change,
So this battle can be won.
