*** Poem Release ***
*** Off To
School ***
by 'Barry R. Long'
I'm out the door and off
to school
wearing a trench coat, looking a fool
I walk three
miles through the hood
the danger of which, I fully
understood
to wear the coat I consider to be best
for it
doubles as my bullet proof vest
two high powered air rifles lay
in wait
me being target practice on a daily rate
after being
shot everyday for over a year
guns and are now things, I can
not bear
a simple task as walking to your school
being the
war victim of two juvenile fools
