Tribute to those slain at sandy hook elementary school

within a fortnight or there about, the lapsed time since the merciless murder of munchkins t'will be 4 years, yet empty space within parent(s) or guardians of those senselessly slain will live 4ever.

fathers and/or mothers heart broken for
 beautiful daughters and sons
only thru memories they can only adore
cleft psyche, gut-wrenching,
 woefully torment searing
 within mind doth bore
recovery from such a loss
 as prized progeny
 well nigh impossible chore
haunted by priceless offspring,
 neither surviving papa/ mama can never lever a jarred door
not ever again hearing soft pitter patters across the floor
mental angst now fraught with blood & gore
this haint mooch different frosty hoar
than a g.i. Joe in battle fatigues bidding a final bon jour
locked in moral combat with korps
indelibly etched in conscience
 bent on evoking nightmares
 like an ogre per folk lore
sans once happy go lucky faces smile no more
nor
will horror of grief abate,
 but continue to pour
inducing incessant screams
 from tigress roar
that remain in cerebral store
vis a vis an awful imp prim a tore
hammering, nailing, wrenching,
 et cetera phantoms
 once genetic gems of yore.

 

Author's Note

no words can obliterate, what must be the most horrendous loss experienced by a legal guardian or birth parent of a minor - for a heart of gold, especially when such untimely death occurs via violent homicide...
