Mourning Poem

This is a poem about the tragic high school shooting at Columbine High School on April 20th, 1999. Two senior students walked into their school, and killed 12 of their fellow students and 1 teacher. Only 40 minuets into the attack Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed themselves in the library where they killed 10 of their victims. After reading a book called Columbine by Dave Collen.

Columbine In Fear

Please don't slip away,
Please don't die this way,
Just hold my hand,
And breathe in deep,
Today is the day to weep.

Their eyes are blood shot,
The pain isn't going away,
Gunshots and screams,
Are coming down this way.

Fear is in their eyes,
Something they cant hide,
Crying while they hide,
Hoping to spare their lives.

As bullets are flying,
Parents are crying,
People are dying
While running for their lives.
