Children gone
in the blink of an eye.
I sit here weeping,
wondering why.
So much now is lost
that will never be found.
As the blood of our children
now covers the ground.
It's not just those
of Aurora and Newtown.
But also in war zones
making us frown.
This killing goes on
it's totally senseless.
With most of the victims
completely defenseless.
The victims are children,
fathers and mothers.
Not only those killed
but sisters and brothers.
Lives changed forever
in ruins in a shamble.
Survivors left behind
who can only mutter and ramble.
For where has this world gone,
how deep has it sunk.
With the actions of many
treating life as mere junk.
How did we get here,
which road did we take.
This path to destruction
why weren't we awake.
Is there an answer,
can we return?
To a life as we knew it
a life with concern.
Concern for our neighbor
not only next door.
But for those we've not met yet
our love should out-pour.
