Glorified murder...This madness must desist...

SENSELESS CARNAGE


 


 


April 16th, 2007


Blacksburg Virginia


Scene of senseless carnage


Bloody massacre


Calculated rampage


Innocence


Forever betrayed


Helpless students


Bewildered


Terror unforeseen


Violence


Conjured within darkness


Satan spreads his wings


Inconceivable horror


Lovers spat


Whatever


Panic presided


It matters not to the dead


Captive to their innocence


Chained doors of doom


Guilty of no crime


The world wants answers


Why?


Truth perhaps died


With a cowardly last shot


Feeble email warnings


Two hours missing


To mount the final assault


A pair of 9mm’s


Destruction


His only goal


Gripped by hell-bent hands


Armed to the teeth with ammo


Quite prepared to die


And take so many with him


Lives forever changed


Our hearts


Bleed for our children


In this Godless wayward breed


Violence rapes our land


Glorified murder


This madness must desist

For those without religion, evil seeps in to fill the void. So many lives, so much pain and it just keeps happening, why?

Be safe,
Karen

Very sad indeed. Thanks for sharing this soul-touching poem

I'm a graduate of Blacksurg, so I was truly sickened when I watched the horror unfold on the TV screen. We may speculate why such a heinous deed was done and never know the true reason.
