Dedicated To The Souls - Las Vegas.

 
 
Yesterday I had Hope. Hope for humanity to fix itself. Today I find that we have become Victims. It is all to many falling prey to vicious mass shootings. Such as the attacks on our citizens of the famous Las Vegas. I find that Hope may be fading for a darker side of life. How can we help humanity heal itself of these afflictions? What will be a good end to all the killings? We talk about Gun Control Policies. What really can be done to cure Hate and, bring the country together? I can find no other solution, but love for one anoither. To erase Hate from our vocabulary. To care for one at a time each person we may meet. To teachg our young that the diffences is what makes us great together. Stop the brickering among ourselves about our differences. Show by example your Love for Humanity. Show by your Love for one another that Humanity exist. Decrease the violence. Increase your worth. Bring back Hope. Bring back Peace. Get Rid Of The Guns.

Talk is good. No action is not. Take it from me, there will be action; you just won't see it. Thank you for your response.

Hi Marilyn, I agree 100% with this well written and truthful write. The last line sumed it all up. What happened in Vegas shouldn't have never happened. Everyone on the soup should this poem today . If ratings were still an option this would have been an easy seven-Alexis
