Seize the Day

"Good morning Yorktown Highschool;"

Please stand for the pledge.
I pledge allegence
To the flag
Of the united states of America
And to the republic
For which it stands
One nation
Under God
Indivisible
WIth liberty
And justice
For All.

"Have a happy thanksgiving"

The hallways are silent.
Only the footsteps of peers can be heard
Not a word

x squared minus five over x squared minus five x plus six.
The day goes on.

Teachers and policmen in the hallway
With their eyes they ask

Are you the next?

No one looks at anyone
The feeling is cold in these heated-late-November hallways.

One word written across the faces of anyone that shows it.

Why?

Why? I ask myself. Why.Why.Why
Why does if have to be this way?

A boy so lost. So miserable. He could only escape from life itself.

The sun diddnt show its face today
Good thing.
No one wants to see it

Those of us who knew him are grieving for what he was

Those of us who diddnt are gieving for what we never got to know

That we have no memory tucked in the back of our minds melt us with its heat.

Dan O'connor died yesterday

You can't love a dead boy.
