Poetry: Tell me why

another day

in one of many

that I couldn't explain

to blame

on what happened

that fateful day

As dozens of loved ones

who asked a reason

Tell me why!

Our school didn't monitor this killer.

Who came into our midst

like a plague of locusts

is focus

on moving on

and forgiving this troubled soul

who took his life at 23 years old

and took others with him

whose promising futures

will never be realized

because a system used us
