Five Lost Souls

by Kevin-- Cancer - Not entered

Days of innocence are gone
Children’s laughter ceases to roll on
Twenty-two shots fired
Five lives expired
Four little souls
Never to grow old
Never again to play
For in the ground they lay
Never to realize their fate 
Never to have a date
Never to attend their prom
Never to move on
To young to experience hate
To young to ever appreciate
Voices of joy
Now lay silent
Caused by two who became violent 
There is one other now out of sight
Who’s soul is in God’s light
The Jonesboro teacher, Shannon Wright 
Who placed her self in harms way
So a sixth grader could live past that day
