melancholic gray sky
clings to the mourning class
that stands ‘round small caskets
amidst politicians,
some useless policemen,
and destroyed families.

Author Notes
On May 24, 2022, 18-year-old Salvador Rolando Ramos fatally shot nineteen students and two teachers, and wounded seventeen other people, at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. The director of the Texas Department of Public Safety told reporters that the incident commander on the scene made the "wrong decision" to wait 45 minutes before breaching the classroom doors. Some of the children called 911 asking to send the police before they were killed.
