Another Mass Shooting



Pop. Pop. Pop. Was the sound heard through the halls......
You could see the bullet holes through the walls......
Everyone running and trying to find shelter......
Like a scene from the movie "Helter Skelter"......
Nobody move! Screamed the kid with the book bag......
Then shots rang out and there was a bloodbath......
Kids were hiding, some were laying on the ground......
Then whispers took over the violent sound......
Then there was nothing but silence......
A kid was bullied into violence......
But this decision was already too late......
9 children were dead and their parents were waiting by the gates......
He cried as the voices in his head were screaming "Kill your friends"......
When will this senseless violence end???????
Another Mass Shooting
