Death by Suicide

within 1 week 5 kids hav commited suicide by hanging themselves in Douglas County School District....


A rope, it hangs, and soon is hung
The morning smells like rancid dung
Gritty teeth and steely grins
A merchant man with many chins
Calls his wares and flaunts his doom
Chilling all within the room
His floppy hat with a feather stuck
In the brim like a prideful duck
Lures children new each day
Brightly bouncing, shows the way
Atop a chair beneath the ceiling
Choices now are set to reeling
Dealing cards from wicked hands
Holding breath from in the stands
A slow mo drop, an instant stop
Our hearts are all about to pop
Take it back, just hit rewind
Those things they did were so unkind
Wooden doors close on themselves
Ashes hidden on our shelves
Say goodbye with whispered tears
They’ve all come true, our greatest fears
