cloud bursts in the sky,
raindrops falling from many eyes,
one for one, for all
one four one, fall
victims
voices break and tremble,
though the Earth
might shake and rumble,
as the ground is incised,
again and again, again and again...
and raised caskets to the fill the skies,
enough to black out the sun,
but not of those children, or of their memories.

First version was much longer, had much anger, and may find print another day time or place. Say the title real fast ..innocents
