#columbine - Hello Poetry

The field's on fire wrath and natural selection loose in the commons dying to **** killing to die this is no dress rehearsal no prank the breath of life melts into playground psychosis triggering the finger of a false god summoned in the blackness to try and choke humanity's guiding flame (but on it burns)

I like to laugh and smile like any other kid but you decided that I was undeserving of being liked of being loved of being myself I wasn't cool I wasn't trendy I wasn't sporty I was just being myself I am quirky I am intellegent I am creative You Don't care! You are relentless You are misguided You are ruthless Who hurt you so bad? You have friends You have fashion You have popularity Is that not enough? I am now untrusting I am now anxious I am now depressed It still hurts till this day! I have grown to resent you! I have grown to hate you! Why aren't you dead yet? I'm sure the feeling is mutual You hurt me because Someone hurt you When does this vicious cycle end?

The shortest distance between two points of travel. The fastest method for achieving a result. Quickest answer for a resolution. Marrying equals. All terminology meaning essentially the same thing; synthesis. That is what the two-party system is meant to be doing. It is the point of checks and balances. A check is a stopgap. A balance is a measure. No one wants to ban personal firearms. No one wants mentally-ill people to own them. No one advocates violence by school teachers to assuage future potential violence. No reasonable person wants children to grow up in a police state school system. No American believes that State and Federal government can agree on what should be done in all states. We will not be arming teachers. Nor will we be banning guns. There will never be armed guards at public schools. States and the Federal government disagree on so many levels there will never be consensus on change when it comes to this issue. So, change the issue in a way that offers a stopgap as a measure. The President of The United States issues a proclamation that all land directly adjacent to the front of all public schools will be bought by the federal government at today's market price. That price will be fixed provided the states do two things. Use state eminent domain laws(every state already has them) to file a claim on said properties and assess the value thereof for the federal government. Secondly, establish police precincts on said property. Ask yourself; "How many children would die if the local police were directly across the street from the school at the time of the shooting?" And, "Would Conservatives or Liberals be against this proposal?" Also, We should all remember that these shooters plan their attacks and would have to plan around the police being there immediately after they begin one. Problem solved... ...and no one touched a gun(right) to do it.

4/20 99 indescri- bible, colum- bine. This launched, a devious plan- something the whole world needs to understand: Society makes its mark, their wish came true. &elieve; me when i say they thought nothing of me or you. they only drew you near. You be- lieved, to them, you we- re dear. But then one day, you realized, you were no longer their peer. Leaving their reputation: smeared. You told them your worries you said them LOUD and clear, they didn’t give a **** instead they riddled you with fear. they really shouldn't care. but you had to leave your mark, when living in their massed produced ware forced you to spend your days in the dark. it is true within everything they do. they do not really care. society serves to exploit me while exploiting you, too. ------------------------------------ So this is where we stand, among all the **** in the land. and we still wonder why another man’s grass is far more grand. we must eradicate everything we were told to ever know do you know the devil may live within your own very home? So many sit and wait with their message in a bottle, but what we need to do is go heavy on the throttle. Build yourself a sanctuary, somewhere in merry's land become Mr. Manson, or maybe you prefer, Scarlett Johansson.

Wilting as bullets flee. Open guns and unsettled feuds April 20th, 1999. Dylan and his pal are hanging around, coming closer with every breath be careful- they might hear the sound of your rapid-beating heart.

I curled up under the Columbine sheets, He planted kiss after kiss on my rosy cheeks. His eyes told me words that could never be said, And with that, he climbed into our lovely king bed.
