A Human Never Learns

(Dedicated to recent killings of Virginia Tech) A Child, When he was only eight, Departed home forever, And built a new home, On a developed and secured place, To grown up in a wealthy environment. What was wrong in time or place? Is a school n’t better place? That he learned, How can we utilise properly, The cultivation of weapons? What was wrong in our system? We failed to transplant a new vision, A vision of human development, But we failed to learn, A child was walking in his sleep, Where a soldier has pointing on him. What was the reason? We failed to teach him a new lesson, When I am watching at me, My sighs claimed, That we killed one more innocent, Who killed another 32 innocents. The enlightenment was growing in the darkness, Not only me, you was also a part of the system, Where people served only injustice. Is this a lesson for developing human?
