We should be used to this, but we're not ... we're not ...

Another tragedy.

My heart goes out to those affected by the events of 4/16/07, and all who are touched by madness, the world over ...


"Words ..."

... cannot express the
sadness I feel at this moment;
why?
Another tragedy;
more lives taken by violence;
have
we learned ... nothing at all?
My tears join those cried out, 'No more;'
we
pray for understanding
in a world we don't understand ...
words
cannot express the
sadness I feel at this moment.

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (4/17)

Another pointer to the end-times, Karla. The more we shut out Jehovah, the more we play Russian-roulette with doom! I feel for the innocent victims and their families.

Peace and love

Paying my respects to the families of those which died, and remembering the heroism of those that died trying to protect the life of others from the dastardly dids of derranged people.
God have mercy of us all.

The truth has been said. A tragedy has happened once again, and once again, all we can do is pray for the victims families to continue to trust in God.

indeed we all feel the senseless tragedy of innocence as it aspires to learn about life ... the really sad thing, is that it will continue as long as the media makes a spectacle of it ... unfortunately, we live in times when news spreads much too quickly and much too far ... yes, the speed and scope of news transfer has its good points but in these situations the sick know how to thrive on it ...

It is a nightmare. Your lines : have we learned...nothing at all? really stand out for me. I keep wondering the same thing.

How can anyone express it Karla! It is beyond the pale! We have learned much in advanced technology, but we have learned nothing in teaching our children what is important in life. Until we teach Godly
prinipals to ALL children everywhere, we will have these aberrant behavior crimes. Thanks for sharing!

I think "shock" is the keyword in all of this. How could one person be so full of sickness or hatred to take the lives of so many.

Beautiful poem, Karla. The words do express your sadness eloquently in their simplicity. What can we say?
We can wish for lost things---respect; honest, moral teaching in schools and colleges; appreciation for beauty rather than vulgarity; it all comes down to the place we as a nation give to our Creator. What can we say?

With love, and shared sadness for the lives lost
and for the values we have lost,
Connie

And I share your words, dear Karla, and the sadness as well. What sort of insanity has invaded us? Don't we have enough problems as a nation already? What are we doing wrong to cultivate such hatred and animosity towards each other? So sad ... so sad.
Love and respect,

We all are affected by this tragedy, Karla; such a sad state of affairs at how desensitized, how callous, our world has become!

You express your deepest emotions here; all we can do is pray that peace comes soon before it is too late! God help us!

Very well done; brava!

How so very sadly true for most of us concerning yet one more horrendous tragedy, in a world with far too many of them today.

Oh Karla, it is so very hard to understand how these things can happen, my heart goes out to those so horribly affected by this terrible tragedy.
