There have been 24 reported deaths of Chicago Public School students this school year alone. Students in the recent march against gun violence in Chicago admitted that they are afraid to go to school because they feel they may lose their lives next. The Chicago Police Department escorted the students from Crane High School to and from the bus stops after a student was gunned down in front of the school. This was admirable of the CPD, but our goal is to explore some of the core issues that lead to violence before another student pulls the trigger.

Contributing Factors to Youth Violence
Many factors contribute to school violence including socio-economic issues, lack of parental involvement in the lives of their children, media influences, and the willingness of the community to look the other way. This serves as a mirror to all of us, not allowing us to place the blame on anyone else, but to show how our apathy fuels the fire.

children of man,
children of man often wage war,
children of man don't love anymore,
children of man ,pollute the land,
children of man that's what we are facing,
children of man don't give a damn,
about anything or anyone,
sold their soul for drugs and fame,
children of man they live by the swore,
and die by the gun,
they sell poison to their sister and brother,
no respect for father or mother,
children of man are a sleep on dooms day train,
they feel no joy,they have no hope,
with no patience to cope,
many are on mind altering drugs,
that praxil pushed as a cure for all ills,
like a festering boil,
nothing more than snake oil,
children of man are not to be confused with,
sons of GOD,
no way ,no how,
a Indian friend of mines,
says these children,
have accept evil and the ways of,
the wondering spirits of the under world,
children of man D-N-A has been altered,
anything man messes with always falters,
children of man fathers of the damn.
la,la,la, ooo, yea
children of man ,
are the fathers of the damn,
living without hope,
strung out on dope,
day to day is a struggle to cope,
for the children of man,, peace wisemanspeeks@protected aka wizthom
