It was just another normal day
I dressed up for school and was on my way
The exam tension had made me nervous
And to add to it, I nearly missed my bus
Exam time is the worst time, I thought
Little did I know life had much more in store
That ordinary day was the worst that could be
A day that the human race can never ignore
They came in our school
With arms and guns
Entering each classroom
Killing us one by one
I was unfortunate I survived
That incident shall forever stay in my eyes
All that blood shed, that barbaric massacre
Those scared children and their cries
God give me justice and to all my friends
Who could not make it out alive
And punish those barbaric monsters!
Whose acts are inhumane, and thoughts so naïve
A bullets is all that it takes
To freeze a loving father's heart
All it takes is one gun shot
To tear a family apart
That little piece of metal is just enough
To make a mother's heart bleed
It more that enough to
Crush and kill a germinating seed
Its not about religions now
Its not even about nationality
This time its about innocent children
This time we fight for humanity
Our hearts bleed out at this news
We feel your pain we weep with you
Yes, we are enemies but we are humans first
Lets together fight for what is true
So go brave soldier
Go save your family, they need you
We can sort out our differences later
Because it could have been us ,too!
