Tick-Tock
January 19, 2012
Another day passes
Another day in all her classes
The clock is ticking down
The silence is heard ll around town
A gun shot is heard from states away
People run to where the girl lay
She is bleeding from her head
The bullet was pure lead
People ask why
Was her smile all a lie
Her expression is happy
But her eyes are blank
Her body is now an empty tank
The gun in her hand is a 9 mil
The gun made it a fast kill
