WHY...? (poem) by Ed Matlack on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on October 3, 2006

Tormented sickness that was well hidden in this case and in his revenge satan goaded him in this direction for many years. He was a tool and the innocense of the Amish made his crime more noticable. Now...we MUST act to keep this from happing again.

Sadness needs to be redefined.
Love,
Susan

Many are asking the same question, Ed, WHY? Crazy world we live in, when adults with a hidden agenda slaughter innocent children because of something that happened to them as a child....the families of those babies are in my prayers. Powerful, heartbreaking write--well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Ah, Ed, this one and other acts like this are incomprehensible to me. Others *suffer* what these killers do but don't end up shooting other innocents - where does the mind turn to these vile deeds? Why do they feel innocents and children should die for their slights? Another sad day.....

Peace. Joyce

This is so sad. I know no reason why, but their are too many gutless bastards in the world who are willing to take innocent lives.

Alas we will never know. We only hope it is not repeated. But it must be the result of an unbalanced mind to kill innocent children, espcially those who do no harm. Victor

Ed it is so sad I could hardly function today thinking over all the same questions you pose. It seems it is getting worse every day with school shootings and poor children being killed. It is becoming like we're living the book of Revelations. We must stay strong and pray.
Excellent poem of compassion. Eileen

Ed, I am in shock...I have seen those gentle friendly people in the upper mid east. I actualy sat and had tea and sweets with them, looking at their peace filled life. They were extremly loving people. Their horse and buggies quitely galloped the roads.I heard stories about many Amish horse and buggie got ran over by secular society in a hurry thugs. Made me A-N-G-R-Y...... I had heard not much about this story but what I had heard alittle on the news shocked me and angered me. These precious people did no harm to any soul so screwed up...What devils in this world to take from such precious, gentle, beautiful and hard working souls.Ed, you have the biggest heart to tribute these souls..Your heart is so big and rare..Only God can heal us all purely..

Love,
Dove
