When that window crashed, confusion flashed in the eyes of teachers stunned till true understanding gripped them as they heard the crack of guns.
And I'm sure their first instinctual thought was to grab their coats and run, but they bravely stayed, through the price they'd pay, to protect their little ones.
Defenseless with just her bare hands the principal chased him down, then she lunged at him with no chance to win, as she faced her final rounds.
Filled with courage that is seldom seen against madness never cherished, she tried to buy her teachers time, and in that selfless act she perished.
Chorus-
I just can't fathom the horror in those children's eyes that day, as they watched their teachers gunned down, then that demon turned their way, extinguishing their innocence with a unquenched evil lust, like some monster from beneath their beds, turning all their dreams to dust.
After six adults lay dying and 20 precious tots lay dead, he heard many sirens wailing and put a bullet in his head, if each teachers spirits rising had the capacity to breathe, I'm sure they saw him tumble and let out huge sighs of relief, for all the children that he didn't get, and fellow teachers blood not shed.
Then angels came to cradle all the cherubs who had fallen, to take them to a place where guns would never come a calling, And six educators souls all rose, from life's hardest lessons taught, while hell's minions dragged one maggot's soul to the damnation he'd sought.
Chorus-
I just can't fathom the horror in those children's eyes that day, as they watched their teachers gunned down, then that demon turned their way, extinguishing their innocence with an unquenched evil hate but I know they're all in God's arms, healed from pain at Heavens gates.
All that's left now is prevention, far too many students die, while we scratch our heads and argue, somewhere out there WAITS A GUY!! with an itch to kill, and a date all planned, till we once again wail "Why?? " the solution is quite simple, no more students have to die.....
Take the troops all coming home from war, who have no jobs and are idle, pick the best who spent years over there trained to spot those suicidal.
Arm them with non-lethal weapons make their new fight something vital, with each school their base, where they will patrol.... and remove what's homicidal.
Lest again we fathom horror in more children's eyes someday... as they watch their teachers all gunned down, and a demon turns their way, extinguishing their innocence, with an unquenched evil lust, we don't need gun control, we need patrolling guns non-lethal heroes we can trust, turning a madman's schemes to DUST!!!

PERIOD. Exclamation point. Then very few will die. at least it's a start, before the next group of precious children and teachers are finished forever!

So well written on the toughest of subjects. It broke my heart. I personally will never own a gun. I couldn't live with myself if it was ever taken and used. Cindy
