Shots Fired

By Quinlan Crowe
Student at Sisters High School

Shot down by our own
Shot down by the young and the old
Shot down by the sad, mad, and confused
Shot down by those who don't know how to, or want to express anger, frustration or sadness
in another way
Shot down by the lost

Countless days spent mourning
Countless days "We will always remember"
Countless lives lost
Countless sacrifices made
Countless lives changed forever
Countless days spent wondering "What if?," "When", and "How?"

Will we really remember all the lives lost?
Will we really remember all the dates to mourn?
Will we really remember all the places of tragedy?
Will we really remember all that has gone down?
Will we really change?
