The wind carries on a spell-dazed sigh As the reflections of the faces of people go by And I carry my form to the twisted building gate Of mechanical eyes and ears in the school I hate
So the door leans ajar in a cavernous blue hall And the linoleum floor sparkles and I feel quite small Letting a giant in the authoritarian music band thrive As his gunshot cigars remind an evil left alive
A careless whisper hangs on a thread of wonder But the love in some eyes could all crash down like thunder For the bullet does not care about a future or past As an iron-tipped bird flies to deliver me at last
I float past buildings that were not made for me They watch me go by; do tell how they could see That I left the school with a wingβed sly grin But now I fear that I have deserted my own skin
So splendid days are here indeed As here in Heaven an AR youβll never need.
A poem dedicated to every school shooting in history.
