I am so sorry
That they've burned down your home
Left you standing upon barren ground
Cast stones through sacred things
They shouldn't have even touched.
I am so sorry
That this ugly world
Uses fear as ammunition
Never paying mind
To how you must feel
When used as the target.
I am so sorry
That people have 'opinions'
About these tragedies
Even turning well-deserved eulogies
Into slippery slopes.
I am so sorry
There were people screaming
Just when you were trying
To rest.
And I am so hopeful
That you will reach such magnificent heights
That they will never understand.
