Boston

Can someone please explain to me How someone can kill and maim Then think of themselves as heroes Instead of barbaric and insane People aren't meant to kill and maim That's not the way it should be Meant to love and have families Only lunatics go on killing sprees What goes on in their sick ugly minds It's impossible to comprehend I'm angry and totally out of my mind Such a horrific message it sends People are totally incensed and enraged Want revenge for this cowardly act Remaining calm in spite of the rage Is a must to show we won't crack Can someone please explain to me What's happened to this world of ours Normal people don't do these things These lunatics, by a cause, are devoured © Jack Ellison 2013

These are questions that that defy normal logic. That is the most frustrating part about it. They are devoid of pity or compassion . Very eloquent poem. SuZ

I was shocked when I heard this on the news! I don't understand what's going on in people's heads when they think that something as senseless as that is justified? I was also surprised that they actually blamed the bomber instead of the bomb... sure didn't do that with Sandy Hook!

I don't think a cause is what drives these guys... Tho they may spout a cause... I think it's just an excuse and justification to cover their mental problems... Keep us smiling... These people do too much damage as it is... I'm not against guns, ect... I'm against these harmful crazies...

I am utterly without words to describe what I'm feeling right now. My poem doesn't really describe my horror and outrage!!! What a sad day...
