day EIGHT HUNDRED and FIFTY


Knapsack, on his back
Like his black
Shirt, and he walks
To school
Never sure who
Might shoot.
And he’s afraid
Because a boy his
Age
Might make Fox News
And all of you
Wearing red, white, and
Blue
Will sit back
And watch
While the crooked
Cops
Take another
Life,
But they are all
Disposable
To you.
So, you’ll never
Say a word.
I bet you have
A blue stripe
Sticker too.

--Hannah M. Tyree
