Dedicated to the children of 12/14/12 and their families
Children laughing
Teachers talking
Lessons being learned
Sudden gunshots
Childrens laughter turns to screams
Screams turn to silence
Uneasy, deathly silence
Then, one last gunshot.
Sirens wail.
Parents scream.
Bodies.
Everywhere.
Survivors innocence.
Gone.
Scarred for life.
Christmas.
Kwanza.
Hanukkah.
New years.
All ruined.
Because of one man.
Adam lanza.
Sick mind.
Crazy smile.
A killer.
20 students.
5 staff members.
One mother.
All gone.
One neighborhood.
Reputation destroyed.
Remember 12/14/12
