School Shooting

Another school shooting And this is the worst Can somebody tell me The cause of this curse They say the shooter A man with two guns Came on the campus To shoot anyone What kind of demon Would do something like this Leave a whole town In such emotional distress

Have we learned anything? These terrible shootings reflect badly on our security. You capture the horror vividly in your work. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

A truly sad event indeed... Mental illness has never been taken care of in this country... All the publicity they run grabs the attention of mentally ill people... causing them to try the same thing... The press whipped every one into a frenzy... including the mentally ill. It's extremely hard to put people into an institution (even for a short while) and requires a judge to approve it. These people run free with family too overloaded to help them. The family's need more help as well as the ill.

I don't believe anyone will ever solve this mystery. This was an egregious thing to do which will unfortunately be repeated in the future. You have described that infamous incident rather well in simple-to-read wording.

Very good poem and very good question. I wish I had the answer, but I don't. Thanks for sharing and for letting me know about being featured. I didn't know. I hope you liked the poem. Lucilla

Dear POET, John, I can not bring myself together enough to write a "Dear John letter" A Demon fighting for his existence, knowing if he fails at bringing sorrow and pain to all his demise will be eternal Damnation. Superb Pen. Thank-YOU for YOUR Gracious comment on "Core Belief" LOVE ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Eternal Liege...Harry
