Vanessa Harvey, a Family Focus Dream Team Writer, won the Illinois Council Against Handgun Violence Student Voices Contest for Poetry in her age group.  The awards ceremony was held at Catalyst Ranch in downtown Chicago.

This is her poem:

I think the media plays a big role in gun violence

saying bad things about people

and cyber bullying.

There’s a lot of school shootings

There’s a lot of people going into schools and

shooting people, even the teachers.

When people hear about things that inspires

people to start doing it,

shooting in special places like a school, bank or a mall.

Maybe people think it’s a sport or like it’s fun

But maybe we can help, so try to stop it.

Talk to people about it, because putting them in jail for a while doesn’t help.

To stop it, put the gun down.

To study the Buddha Way is to study the self. To study the self
is to forget the self.  To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.
