My heart is breaking ...

You don't expect it, not here:
the sound of gunfire and
soldiers dead and wounded.
My heart is breaking for
those parents, those wives,
those husbands who will
get the call that their son, their
daughter, their spouse or
loved one is a casualty of war,
not on some damn desert
sand or high mountain pass,
but here, on U.S. soil, in
my backyard. Over there,
you know the enemy will
shoot to kill, but not here -
especially one of our own, an
officer, a doctor for Pete's
sake. It doesn't make sense.
I wonder what caused his
mind to snap to do what he did.
Twelve dead and thirty one
injured. You know, they were
right when they said war is
hell. Just didn't expect it here ...
