A Plane Tragedy

A Plane Tragedy Today on July 17th of 2014 Tragedy has happened. A plane with 298 passengers went down. It was shot by a Missal 25 miles from Russia. It was a big tragedy that no one will forget. The passengers never knew what hit them, but their destinations They would never reach. They didn't even have time to put themselves in good with the Lord. The people that died this day are already in heaven. There they will find the peace and glory - that could not be found here on Earth. The ones that committed the crime, won't ever be free. They will have to run and hide. Someone said today- we are able to put a man on the Moon, but we have not been able to_____ what? I say we have not been able to get rid of Hate. It is sad, but it's the truth. We don't need others to destroy us. We destroy ourselves... 07/18/2014 By Lucilla M. Carrillo Note: May they all rest in peace.

Hi Lucilla, I heard from Andrea how you were ill and just wanted you to know that I am also praying for you-- you may not know me, but I really hope and pray for your health...what you've written here, is very moving, and for you to put a voice to this tragedy, is precious-- it is so disheartening to read/see news about this and the other recent plane tragedies in Taiwan & Algeria... may their souls rest in peace and may they find justice. God bless you!

May the victims Rest In Peace. Targeting civilians is is an abomination of warfare that can rarely be justified. I respect your moral will to address these geopolitical issues Lucilla. Good work! J.A.B.

I almost cried reading your heartfelt words. I think you speak for everyone. we are all sickened by such an evil and shocking cowardly horror. God is watching. they will not get away with it. What gave innocent people and little children done to deserve this. It breaks my heart. just one tragedy after another. A very good thought provoking and emotional write. well done. Pete.

I rarely follow the news so I did not hear about this. So sad. but you are right. they are now in a better place and we are left with this hate filled planet. I am glad it went fast for them and that they did not suffer slowly. Shame on the horrible people that did this.

Lucilla Carrillo
Date: 7/19/2014 11:18:00 PM

hi, Lucilla. Wish you could go to Rio one day. It truly is a charming city that I was fortunate enough to see back in the year 2000. Now let me read this poem of yours.

Lucilla Carrillo
Date: 7/19/2014 11:19:00 PM

I don't think it will happen in this life.

The families that will suffer their loss in this tragedy are the ones I will pray for. Karma will take care of the ones who took their lives. 2/3 of the passengers were Dutch and because I feel Amsterdam is like a second home I have deeper feelings of empathy for all involved. I thought your poem was a beautiful heartfelt tribute Lucilla. P.S. The actual count was 298 as there were 3 infants onboard. Blessings, Connie

Lucilla Carrillo

Thank you Connie for reading and also for the info. They kept saying it was 295. I will correct it.

Excellent write, Lucilla!! Why is it always the innocent that have to suffer? But those who live by the sword eventually die by the sword. Judgment day arrives for all. Impressive final lines, too. Take care! // paul

Such a horrible way for those people to die. Your thoughts are well received and thought provoking. The world would be completely changed if there was no more hate. the Lord is the final judge and all will be brought to justice. Very well written, Lucilla.... Robert.
