It happened again

It happens again,

Happening all the time,

It takes away our freedom

To live, to love, to breathe.

Now we’re thinking about 

So many silent reactions

To a public phenomena

Keeps locking our doors,

Our minds, our hearts 

Broken and stricken

By the news of another lost soul,

Driving our world toward pain,

During such a vulnerable time.

But won’t that be the assessment,

The season of blues with little regard

For others. Instead our evil nature,

Wreaks havoc,

Destroys the integrity 

Of the human condition.

Again we will lay in confusion,

Frightened by the reality of a society

Hell bent on leaving violence up to 

Those that access hell so easily.

Hold your loves one close,

Cherish the days we can.
