Scream

One shot, one scream,

Two shots, two scream,

Three shots, three scream, 

Over 1,000 scream daily

Yet not one scream is heard 

Screams that beg for an end

An end for more screams

But, the screaming continues

The spill of blood increases

Till the world turns red

And the blood covers the earth's floor 

That was once made for us 

To live in peace and love 

When will the shooting stop?  


The author's comments:

I have recently heard about the mass school shooting at Robb Elementary School in Texas and I know it has brought lots of sorrow to the kids, friends, and families in that area. I can not imagine how they must be feeling right now, so I put together a poem to realize where this world has come to. This world was once made for us to live our lives with joy, love, and laughter, but the world has become a battlefield. The spilled blood of young ones or anyone has got to stop.
