born after #Columbine – v2

All of them were born after Columbine
in the shadow of the gun, the chaos
the bleakness of this world
with no memory of a time before.
 
None of them born before the mass shooting
the endless debates, the rocketing sales,
active shooter/ lock-down drills
now part of their school days.
