Gun violence

Another set of buildings
Another set of faces
It's the same story
All over again
One to many the ratio stays
One angry face set on pain
Many scary faces hoping to be spared
Teachers, students, parents and cops
It's the same crowd all the time
Anywhere, Anytime
Is the new mantra now
No one can say
If this story will ever end
