Who broke the law, we broke the law
i got locked up for hitting my brother in the jaw
i got caught with cocaine and a gun
now im locked up and i cant see the sun, now im in jail it aint much fun
im tired of my mother throwin water in my face
she get me so tight i threaten her then leave the place
i know i did wrong so now im in jail
thats wack they cant give me a bail
i had to go to court for cutting school
i was stupid i feel dumber than a fool
i spit in my moms face but i was only nine
my mother chose to call the cops instead of kicking my behind
these stories keep on going but dont blame the judge
its our fault we broke the law with no budge
now who has survived - well some of us did and some of us died
now who has survived - well some of us did and some of us died
now who has survived - well some of us did and some of us died.

Terrible Silence
by Cody [age 13]
Walk outside.
Not a voice in the sky.
I walk to the mall.
And no one in the hall.
A terrible silence.
No one for violence.
Gun stores are empty.
No one to protect me.
Help me, Help me, Help me, I scream.
Till I find all the things I’ll ever need.
So what do we do in this world of terrible silence.
The world will never know what combines us.
