We Used To Carry Books To School

Poem about present day violence and killings in schools.

We used to carry books to school
But now they carry guns
Are bullets now the tool
For schoolwork to be done?

We used to carry books to school
Went there for education,
But now some kids may think it cool
To shoot down confrontation.

We used to carry books to school
Had sports, and fun we can't forget,
But now in school,  so many fools
Just know how to spell Death.
