THE SHOOTING

A man once entered a school,
and the principal called a code red.
Unfortunately this was for naught as the fool
was holding 50 rounds of lead.
When he opened fire, the teachers all fled.
But one selfless one hid all the kids.
She suddenly felt a sharp pain
in her back, and fell to never rise again.
A child, seeing her dying friend,
knew that life would soon come to its end.
She dressed up in blood,
and then hit the mud,
which saved her from ending up dead.
The parents nails were bit down to nil,
hoping that their child would not be killed.
If ever they'd had such a fright,
it was nothing compared to that night.
If I was an officer, I'd have cried
for all the children that died
and of the tragedy inside.
