Games in hand the children play
On the sidewalk
Standing still
Immersed in their phones
Games of violence
Are their thrill
They don't notice
They don't see
An unseen shadow creeps in
Like a spider on a web
The clouds rush in
Storm clouds gather
With a downpour
That threatens all
Water will ruin their play
And they go into school
When the bell calls
Sometime later that day
One child realizes
To her dismay
The shadows of a gunman
Looking for a kid to kill
Isn't like the game she plays
Not at all!
