Bad People


Why is there school shootings?

All these kids in fear of getting shot 

Why do people want to shoot schools?

Are they angry from all those fools?

With school bulling they are in fear 

Kids are afraid they would get shot 

They're scared some guy will buy a gun and shoot

Gun shots were fired 

Kids were getting shot in the hallways 

They were yelling " let me in, let me in" 

But kids did not even move 

They were afraid 

They were scared that the end was near 

I remember the day of a school shooting 

My friend Benny was in the class next to me 

I heard a scream 

It sounded like a boy 

He was yelling, "help help"

I recognized the sound it was Benny!

It was really scary hearing his voice in fear 

Shots were fired all you could hear was "Prrrrrr"

We heard the shooter trying to knock down the door 

We were scared and did not know what to do 

I was scared mostly sad for what just happened 

The police came and were searching for the shooter 

But it was too late the shooter shot himself 

And there was nothing to do about it 

All those students that were shot 

It was at least 14 dead 

Families really sad crying to their sleep 

But people will never forget the day 

Where good people lost their lives
