But Why?

April 12th
a day we will not soon forget.
We have all been victimized
by today's tragedy.
As the rain drops on the fields
so do the tears in the halls.
For a young man
who is struggling to survive.
In this town
"everything is perfect."
But if all was perfect
how could this happen?
How could five students
come into our school
with knives and bats
and not be stopped?
A young man, a child
was severely wounded,
stabbed in the stomach.
But why?
An hour and a half has past
and we still hear the screams
friends are just learning what happened
on the day we will not soon forget.
