A Cruel Deed

by Ren   Dec 18, 2012


A cruel deed,
That cannot be undone.

An Unexpected battle,
Never to be won.

Unimaginable Sorrow,
Mingles in the air.

Heart breaking Sadness,
Leaving poor hearts bare.

Complete Chaos,
Never to be understood.

Tiny beating hearts,
Lost in the prime of childhood.

Hero's were created,
And some of them were lost.

A murderous rampage occurs,
And now we pay the cost.

Families are broken,
Drowning in their sorrow.

Children don't understand,
Why friends won't show up tomorrow.

A child is gone,
Killed in a place that wasn't supposed to cause harm.

A parent's little miracle,
Ripped suddenly and viciously from their safe arms.

A Brother was lost...
A Sister was, too...
Teachers, wives and Friends,
They didn't make it through.

A cruel deed,
That cannot be undone,

Hello, Human Race,
What have we become??

~ Dedicated to those souls lost at the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. Rest In Peace. ~

    I will never understand how someone can be so evil and twisted to go after children. Well done on this awful, awful incident.

    Ren,

    This is a hard-hitting slap in the face to all of humanity and its entirely inhumane ways.

    Well done and all the best,

    Ben
