By Kaaliyah Lollar
you love your kids and your kids love you
but everything being fine is simply something you assume
behind the curtains of their smiles there’s a stench of certain doom
for the love of God please go inside their rooms
Sandy hook had 26 deaths
And Parkland high had 17
Parents understand your children may not be all they seem
As a parent the one thing that might hurt the worst
Before Adam Lanza killed at that school he killed his mother first.
There’s depression and thoughts so deep tugging on their sanity
There’s a story ten miles deep behind that messy vanity
Poor souls lost by the snap of a finger
Though they may be gone, that grief will forever linger
We could’ve had scientists, astronauts, actors, actresses, and so much more
But all those chances became worthless once the bullets shot through the classroom door
I feel for the little girls who never knew of danger and threats
Only Barbie dolls, and colorful barrettes
I feel for the little boys who never again felt the warmth of their mother’s embrace
Because leaving for school that morning would be the last time they would see their little boy’s face
As an Ode and a favor to the Children who could never grow and bloom
I beg of you please go in their rooms
