Prayers for peace, resolution and forgiveness.

not just statistics in the news
not just offspring of those with opposite views
religious? political? at what cost?
what kind of future have we lost?
the slaying of innocents a cowardly choice
when there exist peaceful ways to proclaim your voice.
each a life precious with destiny to fulfill
not anyone's to take by force nor by will.
when anger reigns and takes justice by hand
when seething vengeance is all we understand
an endless tornado to which evil dwells upon
the hopeless cycle spins - raging on and on.
when violence is the solution you succumb
the change you seek will never come.

this is an emotional write....they are cowards...what the hell kind of statement does it make to kill so many children?
not a valid one, that is for sure.

some power in these words...
