Witnessing

ABCDEF....I pledge Allegiance. Class bell rings. Kids scurry around. Hurry, don't be tardy. Teachers, teaching books in hand. Test taking, study, study, study. Boom Boom Boom. In the blink of an eye, bullets rip apart young souls. At the hands of the unstable, kids are wounded and scared, for a reason unknown, or for no reason at all. innocence has lost its breath. Live have been taken, never to be returned, all at the cost of their education.
