Life becomes strenuous
From gifts vile but generous
Words, your serrated blade
Tainted wounds that shall cascade

Blood shifts to liquid sins
That seep through their plastic grins
From their dead eyes tears fall
Pooling with their tortured gall

An army of young death
All howling with their last breath
Remorse due to neglect
To the ones they all deject

Mistakes they'll make no more
As fresh blood begins to pour
Through our bleak school hallways
You’ll rue what you set ablaze
