The tragedy's over, it's finite. But it's still tragedy, it's infinite. A single action multiplied through all of reality. Two lives subtracted from this universe indefinitely. One, deemed slightly odd, just wanted to get even Emotions compounded, suspending all reason. The other in a more integral union Now leaving a remainder with no solution. But regardless of identities, what's the difference when actions like these have a sequence? A series of lives lost; Lost to the shell method With empty shells bouncing on the floor The death toll adding up more and more. As a country, what is our limit? what constitutes a significant digit? We hear about tragedies with such frequency we think "it won't happen to me". And that might be the root of these events, A mindset of disconnect. That our lives all run parallel...but only until they intersect. But the hole in that theory is that we're already in a universal set. If we integrated that thought into the way we live We  might have less families asking "iff" Because that might be a tragedy on par: Living as if our neighbors are imaginary parts. So, let's shift our prime focus from our own simple interest Before its outcome produces absolute divergence.
