Oh, why do such things Exist in this world  
Throughout the halls echos of BANG! BANG! BANG!  
Panicked students in classrooms curled  
Those with phones had made calls  
Horrified, witnessed a body smeared with bl00d 
 
Desperate pleas for mercy, 
A sudden fall on knees, 
Shocked the victims will see, 
The world had seemed to freeze, 
The shooter shot down to the ground, 
 
Anxious parents rush to their child, 
Still in shock children whimper and cry, 
Not one person there smiled, 
It was as silent as the dead of night, 
The sky had seemed to fall.

TW: violence, death, blood

This piece was written shortly after the shootings that occurred in America in 2022. It gives an imaginary insight into such a tiny portion of what could've happened.
