A Sacrificial Lamb

White daisy's in a wicker basket graced the tiny metal casket where his lifeless body now lay.. Family and friends wrought with grief shook their heads in disbelief as he was only ten years to the day... His story made the news with it's all familiar tragic hues and the politicians had their say... People gathered on that street lighting candles, placing wreaths in remembrance of where he was slayed... The sun still shines on this space his spilt blood cleansed to not a trace but what a price his community has paid... What kind of world have we created when young lives can be negated, falling victim to gun violence every day...
