Schoolyard Killers

Every evening we ask

What's to watch?

On our society

There is a blotch

When we watch

We flip at will

We look for something

To fill the bill

Then we find a program

About children who kill

For only a moment

It gives us pause

We stop and ask

What's the cause?

Who's at fault?

What's to blame?

It's entertainment

The most dangerous game

Morality, Morality cries the Right

They yell and scream with all their might

Guns, Guns cries the Left

At yelling and screaming

They are so deft

While they engage in to and fro

We sit back and watch the show

We have no need of detective thrillers

Now we have schoolyard killers

I like the latter

but might try one of each here for the are close and sound and show both sides of coin nice job here we have way to much of this going on these days if they would show the killings in other countries through out our world every day on the tellie there would be utter sickness in ones stomach but Americans are so desensitized to such stuff through or movies that our children think what I not to sure sad the truth is nice job thinking hurts and facts often tell the truth when they happen in fornt of your eyes on a daily basis

Thanks Barbara!

I thought kids were bad when I was growing up. I think the last few years has demonstrated that the situation is getting worse and worse. One certainly wonders where this is all going to lead. Sincerely, Michael
