Why Does Blood Spill From Children\'s Books?

Why does blood spill 

From childhood books 

 

Rulers to measure bodies 

Dead on the school room floor

 

Murals overhead singing 

Kumbaya- holding hands 

 

Red apples mashed under skid

Marks milk spilled on the walls

 

The music rooms rings 

Heavens bells echo the halls

 

The art room hides the 

Hidden souls of the children 

 

The pièce de ré·sis·tance

Sitting on the principal\'s desk 

 

Foreshadowing the threat

Transpiring in crayon colors 

 

Telling a thousand words 

Of the screams- a thousand more


WHY DOES THE BLOOD
SPILL FROM CHILDREN\'S BOOKS.
