I am against violence in schools, any schools, anywhere. We need accountability. We need our politicians to step up. We need our children to be safe. Our future depends on it.
Back in the 60’s kids passed notes, chewed gum and shot different ammo…
An Educational Movie
The projector’s fan hummed.
It was pitch black.
Perfect cover.
Our mission featured onscreen.
We drilled
to assess the site, record our findings;
there would be a test.
The jungle steamed.
Small muscular
tanned
men with piercings and tattoos
emerged.
Noiseless we signaled.
No prisoners.
Straws passed.
We fashioned the ammo from tiny balls
of paper and spit.
Trained our sights
circled wide
closed tight
firing round upon round.
The onslaught
bulls-eyed the movie screen
blanketed the
tan tile
and a brash number of body parts.
The battle won.
The blameless,
in jeopardy.
