Student Name: Teja Davis School: Oswego East High School Grade: 11th Class: Spoken Word Club; Mr. Ochoa UN Sustainable Development Goal: Peace, Justice, Strong Institutions Brief Artist Statement: I wrote this poem in response to the rise in gun violence in schools. It’s not ok for something so gruesome to be so common and I know we can’t ever reach goal 16 if we don’t first address this problem and put a stop to it.
