May they rest in peace,
Innocent victims of hate,
Bless their families.
Gone--not forgotten,
Echoes still reverberate,
Of their too-short lives.
Let's stay vigilant,
Reject those that would excuse,
Monstrous, insane acts.
Let us embrace all,
From all races/religions,
Who show compassion.
For all who were killed,
From all races/religions,
On this fateful day.
Hate the evil men,
Not their innocent neighbors,
Who were victims too.
