A moment of silence

I just need a minute

To express the sadness

I felt when I read about this crude act of madness

The innocence of a child... doesn't deserve this

This level of violence on a child? God will not forget... the memory, He preserves this

Whoever you are... whatever your reason

A fate worse than hell... that fiery prison

The shooter deserves this

A child

That is who you killed... a child

An innocent soul... not a Crip, not a Blood

You will never see the day when you can get rid of the stain left by a little one's blood

I just need a minute... to write this

May God give those affected the strength to fight this... injustice

And to the madman... it shall haunt you beyond the grave we know

Poetic justice

But nothing we write/say/do can undo this unnecessary act of violence

However, let's just take a minute to pay our respects

Let's have a moment of silence.
