Charleston Nine

today the sun seem not to shine for some reasons the heart seem to bleed we wonder where all the smiles departed a promise of wonders the day betrayed nine woke on this day with smiles in their heart their joy limitless with much promise and verve they approached their day the sun bright and gloomy to the feet of the maker all went in his presence they dwelt unaware it will soon become dark and moody until a descendant from hell swooped in cutting short nine fragile hearts opening doors of hurts for the world alike spirits traveled out from fragile hearts leaving rivers of tears in her wake today deceived us ignorantly promised us so much stealing much more from us if only the world knew they would have taken the opportunity to tell their loved ones one final time the three most spoken words I Love you our tears roll like the ocean for the lost and demised but in it we are reawakened to the privilege of life most especially its brevity. * for the nine people killed at a charleston church by a descendant from hell Posted by Oluwatomiwo Akinyemi at 00:25 No comments:
