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?
