Hours after news broke that at least 14 are dead following a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, poet Amanda Gorman tweeted a widely circulated new verse about the chaos, carnage and fear of the event:
Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
& if
Schools scared to death.
The truth is, one education under desks,
Stooped low from bullets;
That plunge when we ask
Where our children
Shall live
& how
