Thanks to all wh commented on my abc poem.I didn't expect the concern;-) it happened years ago.You are all so very compassionate and loving truly we are family! Thank you!


Dare I mention happiness when
all the world is under duress
or talk about the skies of blue
when much gray has been the hue
hungering for a taste of sun to
take the chill from everyone

In a culture which has hit the pits
A world that war can never cure

And nothing's worse than demons curse
that helped a man to choose to brood
instead of changing his own attitude
he went on a killing spree that caused
loss of future leaders, it makes us pause to
understand what's inside the hearts of man

Taking 33 lives including his own

There is a simple answer to what we're
looking for, it lies within the Creator
whether we make right choices is the key
we have to learn the ways of  the deity
not just say we believe,but know who He is
and decide to follow standards that are His

It has and always will be a matter of choice
one can choose to listen to His silent voice
when we believe and accept His precepts
we know what to do and what to expect
we will always make errors and cause unrest
but bloodshed and misery are from satans vest

It's our choice!

It's all about choices--assuming that mental illness is not part of the scenario. What a tragedy, and what a haunting piece.

May God bless you, the victims, and their families.

If you were the victim of bullies you can understand the crazy man did what he did, many had the same thoughts but without doing it.
To survive bullying is to learn a life lesson, to succumb to revenge desires is to prove that the lesson wasn't learned.
I was a little firecracker that couldn't be stopped by bullies to give them an eye shine, that was all the extent of the payback.
Society most learn to stop bullies and start to take seriously the mental unstable that, for the sake of therapeutical integration is forced upon the average school population.

Eileen,

Mankind can choose the narrow path that leads to righteousness, or go down the wide road that leads to destruction. We have free-will. Too bad the road leading to destruction takes so many innocent lives with it. Powerfully penned truths in heartbreaking verse; mankind needs to fall on their knees and repent before it is too late!

You speak the truth in this one, Eileen; we went away from God; now we are paying the price. God help us! Let's put God (AND PRAYER) back in the nation, in our homse and schools, also discipline. Sad how we've fallen; we need a spiritual revival here!! Powerful, heartbreaking write that pulls no punches; very well done! BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :( >tears! <

You are right dear Queen. Bloodshed is from satan's vest. We in somalia are losing life every day if not every hour. Like Iraq we lost four peacekeepers today from Uganda after a remote-controlled bombd went off at the roadside where they were patrolling. When shall human being adoptthe standards of God? I don't know
Perfect poem at a most perfect time
