I remember ever moment
every face, every scream
I remember the children running
thinking, please let this be a dream
I remember the laughing
as they walked down the hall
the cell phones ringing
is this there last call
I remember crying
gun fire piercing the air
they fired with out looking
laughing without a care
I remember…….Silence
as the last one hit the floor
the officers were too late
and the children were no more
