Newscaster summed
still
stunned thoughts
over the inexplicable loss
of so many innocents
and those charged with imparting knowledge
with single, perfect sentence.
of so many innocents
and those charged with imparting knowledge
with single, perfect sentence.
“People born in 2006
should
not be dead
in 2012.”
But
I did not know or forgot
the other 61 Americas lost this year
when some
fellow citizen “snapped…
got
his hands on guns… and left us this.”
As
a country
we have been through this too
many times.”
Our
recently reelected President
dead
panned to reporters,
calm
detachment hiding a father’s horror.
Going to the gym..
a night club…
a
high school…
a university..
a
coffee shop..
a movie theater …
a
temple..
a
mall…
Supposedly
safe places
suddenly
hazardous.
This
month of multiple
holy
nights disrupted
by
some unhelped person
reaching
personal breaking point.
Chilling
words complete yet
another
tale of 20 dead children
just
11 days shy of Santa’s anticipated yearly visit
“What we don’t know is how to prevent
the
next one."
