I sit here alone in the darkness
Alone with my thoughts
In a few days Christmas
A happy time, a time of joy
But no Christmas now for twenty girls and boys
What madness has assaulted this now sad world?
Where a life can be taken so easily
Without any thought or care
Children, five six and seven
WHY, WHY, WHY?
Tell me now that there's a god
Tell me why he let it happen
No, I dont believe any more
The slaughter of the innocents
Has destroyed all I ever believed in
Animals ****, yes but just for food
But its only mans inhumanity to man
That can destroy so easily
I wrote this poem after the Sandy Hook school shooting where so many innocent children died
