Young Hearts Without Fear

These little children skipped to school  Cos xmas  time was near The excitement was getting too much  for them True young hearts without any fear Then along came Adam Lanza...... Guns at the ready , ready to kill The adults did  all they could To stop  this unholy  thing. Teachers tried to shield the pupils To stop them being killed Some died in the attempt  Their bodies bullet riddled The why's and wherefores For this act, might never be unfold The gunman died, he was the one Whose story could be told- The numbers reach  two score  and seven Totally not acceptable That such a person has a licence For it to be permissible Gun laws wont help these tragic children  Angels in heaven they are now Watching over their loved ones Kissing their furrowed brow.

I had actually thought of writing about this myself, but where to begin, where to end, and not have to dwell on the atrocities we face everyday. Nice write over a very tough subject.
