Certain sovereignty roams the halls
It`s powerful; it executes with such capacity
War cries: As School bell calls
But who -Peers of much audacity:
War-painted Jocks, Gore-tainted Flocks
Of Battlers; their outstretched foot to trip, to fail
To be enclosed in Pandora`s Box
Targeted-riffle at hand-trapped in a pupil-filled Jail
They`ve changed lives; so pathetic
Weapons to harm based on Social life status
Not Intellect. Not Leadership. Not Talent. But on how aesthetic
Dysfunctional system; as a deteriorated apparatus
For such a War Zone; with students left on the Battle field
Is the Humanly Bloodshed, Of such dominance concealed?
