1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 In memory of everyone who lost their life due to violence in our school.
—————————————————————————————

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 School is a place children have to go.
September thru June in the sun, rain or snow.
You meet new friends and go to class.
Sometimes you have lunch or gym in the grass.
A day includes science, social studies and math.
Hoping Children follow the right path.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Unfortunately there is a darkeness in every school hall.
Violence weather mental or physical is what it is called.
Cursing, cussing calling children bad names.
Is an emotional beating just the same.
Punching and fighting are physical pains.
Where noses bleed, bones break, and nothing much is gained.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 Parents want their chidren to be safe an unharmed.
But their eyes would be opened up with alarm.
One week spent in school whith their children by their side.
Parents would experience the stormy roughness of school tides.
Be strong, have broad shoulders, and a stiff uper lip.
In twelve years you will be out, that is my best tip.

Notes

I wrote this poem because in school we were doing a unit on violence and I sat down one night and wrote a poem about violence that takes place in our schools. Violence happens everywhere it doesn’t matter if your school have 900 students or if it has 3,000 you stil will have violence in them. Some people think violence is just stabbings, shooting, that is physical violenc but it isnt there is mental violence that hurts the person the same.
