Gun Crime

by Kirsty palmer   Mar 2, 2007


"Bang" there goes another shot
People proving what they've got
Discrimination is the key
Stop the shooting- hear our plea
Too many people are made to die
Gun levels rising extremely high
Violence everywhere- day to day
People trying to run away
Gangs lurking in the street
walking past your heart skips a beat
Scared they may pull out their gun;
then after you- they would run
Three teenagers killed in two weeks
Armed police patrol our streets
A boy of only seven got shot once more
As the bullets rested- he fell to the floor
His mum was crying at his feet
Gun crime rising in this street
Children as young as eight
carry weapons for their 'mate'
An 18 year old got shot in the back;
come on people thats just whack!
Gun crime in london dropped 14% last year
But now it's rising that is clear
15 year old boy found dead at the scene
That boy was barely a teen
Gun crime lurking around the corner
People take this as a waner!

    Kristy,

    I, too, am suffering from the problems that face our youth of today. As a parent, I fear for my children as they tend to every day existance. Guns in the hands of our kids, and they do get younger and younger every day.

    I just recently wrote a poem called "Little Soldiers". It brought up alot of the same issues your poem did.

    It's a sad world we live in today.

    Your poem had a good flow until the last line. Didn't quite understand it. Seemed you forced that rhymn to fit with 'corner'.

    Overall, though, it was a really good write on your part. Well done.

    Jeannie
