About This Poem

20 Innocent Souls

Where was the Holy Spirit that day..
20 innocent souls pushed over to the hands of Angels
Where was the Holy Spirit that day..
That day we face the tragedy, when will we ever see changes

He left us here on Earth to sort our own mess out
Why did He do that when its clear that were not capeable
In a desperate heart grief that goes beyond any doubt
Facing the devil in human flesh..their fate was inescapable

Where are these young victims today..
20 innocent souls ripped out of the hands of their loving parents
Who’s going to sing their lullaby tonight..
Stolen away from their families their fate now rests in the arms of angels



* God be with the victims, their families and survivors of this meaningless massacre

    You touched a nerve Arild, tragedy seems to be everywhere and it is all so hard to understand. Your sadness resonates in me. Love, Lizzie

    where was the Holly Spirit when it came time for them to go to heaven? There. I learned a while ago God does'nt care about life here. His concern is life there. Long life is not a blessing or else all the saints would have them.

    Hi Arild, wanted to revisit this one. It's really good. I also questioned where the Holy Spirit was... and why He would leave us here with this mess we've created. It's hard to understand. (I still don't understand, but I wrote a poem in which I try to sort it out. I'm going to repost it, in case you'd like to read it. It's a lengthy one though) Your poem is very touching. I'm glad I came across it today. Hope your year is off to a good start. Take care.

    I had so many emotions on that day I heard this news. Above all, my heart hurt for the families. You have written a delicate, beautiful poem that touches many of my thoughts. Blessed be !!

    Achingly sad Arild, it seems more of a tragedy when children are mowed dow as they are so innocent and have barely started life. A beautiful tribute to those little ones.
