Bosten "No more hurting people, peace"

by Gary R Priester   Apr 18, 2013


No more hurting people
Peace
Read his sign

A photo snapped
In a blink of time

An eight year old
With a simple line

But It's irony now
Will forever transcend time

A fiendish act
From a sick warped mind

Has taken his life
Before it's prime

Justice must be done
And will in time

But before we jump
To avenge this crime

Remember the words
In his simple sign

For the Lord said
"Vengence is mine"

    Hmm hmm hmm

    Why didnt I read this one before? This one is really good Sir. The beginning part filled me with anger, I hve to say, the ending part took it away. And stop my thoughts.

    Really well done.
