Broken Schools
The world has changed, and many Refuse to follow the wave. Maybe it's the constant spinning That throws them off, But that's no excuse to deny That something is wrong. I walk through my school now seeing kids Hands in pockets… GUN? Whether they are concealing a weapon or just their innocence I am no longer trusting. My trust vanished just as fast as government support. Without it we stand alone, but don't think We won't stand tall or strong. They shut us down, when we know best, But they will not win this time. Things must Change, and we will be the ones to do it. Sincerely, Your Youth. #neveragain Words from the Author: Clarrissa Klein I chose to write this piece because it is a very relevant topic in society lately and I feel very strongly about it. I have seen in a matter of only thirteen days since the Parkland school shooting many kids my age take action for change, and this is the kind of change I would like to be part of. I have seen my own government try to hush those who make themselves heard and I have found it to be truly despicable. I am sick of being silenced on issues that deserve the attention of all so this is my piece on the #neveragain movement for gun control in America. Some significant things that I revised to really make this piece my own was the way that I would phrase things. Such as for the second stanza I really tried to work out the wording to make it sound as if it was from the perspective of the author and the reader. That way people could really connect to the piece themselves.
