Again and Again

So tired of this news...

Sitting here watching CNN

Thinking, "Here we go again."

Each time I think we'll get along

Some villain goes and proves me wrong

In Oklahoma and Columbine

Aurora, Colorado and Nickel Mines

Young and old, no differentiation

Leading to our own damnation

Tucson, Arizona and Sandy Hook

There doesn't seem an unspoiled nook

9-11 years ago,

Boston today continues the flow 

Bombs and guns in streets, schools and malls...

Where's the "Love your neighbor" that I recall? 

Author's Note

I know, bombings, terrorist attacks and school shootings are not the same thing... but aren't they, really? I just can't stand this anymore...

Boston is so sad, and so are the others you mentioned.
I am still tore up about Boston, that 8 year old child
could've grown up and been somebody some day.

He was somebody already - and so were the others. Just living life, and then... Certainly makes me want to relish every moment. Thanks for reading and commenting.

It does get sickening after awhile. I used to be glued to the TV for information, now, I don't want to hear another terrible repeat of disaster and death. Good poem.

Rita try to look between the cracks for the love and kindness...it's stilll there...

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Marie. I know it's there; I just never grasp these acts, nor the media's glorification of them.

This is much needed, especially today. The constant bad news can create a cynical mindset that's contagious. It's sad and it's agreed... how much more can we take?

Brave, heartfelt write. Thanks.

[Rita L. Sev]

Thank you, Cyntax. Trying to let the cynical out tonight, so it does not infect my tomorrow...

[Deuces]

I know all about cynical. It's part of my pen name, after all lol.

So sad...started crying in the car on the way home from school. Why, dear God?

This poem is well written and so true! We went out to dinner tonight and the news was on all over the resteraunte; I very quickly lost my appitite.

I admire your poem so much! Such a mordern and sad idea...*sigh* What is with the world we live in today? God bless all the Bostonians and healing thoughts!
Prayers and hugs, too! :D
