This place is a sanctuary now
Let no more violence befall
Those who reside here
I say to them
They knew nothing but violence
Their lives a constant conflict
Some were relieved
Others were tense
One was grinning
A wide, unflinching grin
I ignored it
I taught everyone how to relax
Allowing my focus to drift like the wind
They followed my lead
But then the screams came
The shots rang
I found the one from earlier
Still grinning
He said to me through his teeth
This place is a graveyard now
