A fragrant fog
Seeped under the door
Drifting lazily in
On that bare tile floor
And I watched as the room
Flooded with deadly gas
Everyone in the room screaming
Trying to make a mad dash
But the exit was blocked
And there was no escape
And I watched that horrific tale
On an old video tape
Scared to hardly breathe
After watching such a scene
How could anyone be
That cruel, that mean!
And yet it really happened
And it could happen again
Let’s not let history
Ever repeat itself again

You mean that this is based on real events? What happened?! 😨 I haven’t learned about this yet… I’m going into 8th grade this year. I’m in for a history lesson, though.
