We used to carry books to school <br />But now they carry guns <br />Are bullets now the tool <br />For schoolwork to be done? <br /> <br />We used to carry books to school <br />Went there for education <br />But now some kids may think it cool <br />To shoot down confrontation. <br /> <br />We used to carry books to school <br />Had sports, the fun we can't forget <br />But now in school, so many fools <br />Just know how to spell Death.<br /><br />Cynthia BuhainBaello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-used-to-carry-books-to-school/
