Parkland We Still Remember ( a year later)
this poem was written to be on display at my old job as a part time library clerk 3 years ago. I had felt effected it when happened although lived miles away and knew no one from there. it broke my heart and a year later I wrote this poem and set up a display to honor the ones who had lost their lives.
A day of love turned into a day of pain
A blood and death around every corner
When all could be heard was bullets and screaming
It was not their time
The lockers never to be opened again
Will pain everyone
Parents on their knees praying that it wasn’t their baby
Parents crying on their knees knowing it was their baby
Everyone so brave
Everyone so kind
The one’s who hold the world in aww
Now gone away
Mothers saying good bye to their sons
Brothers saying their final good bye to their own brothers
Father’s burying their own princesses
Sisters stressing out at the last word they said to their sibling
Aunts and uncles effected from miles away
Cousins confused and in tears
A blood bath in the place where they used to learn
Teachers shielding students
Sisters losing sisters
Brothers losing brothers
Best friends losing best friend
This how it should not have been
Bullets should never have flown
Everyone should have gone home
Instead they are now gone
But , yet here we
Are
We still remember you
Not for the numbers in the books
But for the people that have gone
Make no mistake we cry still at the lost of life
But here we are a year later
We stand strong
We cry
We still remember
Let those who died that day
Live forever in this day and everyday
