Another Horror

A man walked into a shul where there was a baby being named Fired a rifle - killed ten worshipping peacefully Another horror in our land When will it end? After each horror we trot out the platitudes and express shock America is a great land in many, many ways But we have a dark part of our nature Which sometimes surfaces into our democracy Let the hate stop! Let the horrors stop now! Our land is being undermined and hope seems a distant dream Well, we must persist We have no choice

Well penned, Matthew; I think that our country is falling fast; our civilization is in the process of failure; where will it end? It's up to us poets to make people aware; you've done well.

I agree with you, Matthew. The shock only seems to last until the next horror. I think the current state of our country is only making things worse. Well said...

When I saw the news last night I had tears of disbelief Matthew, such a terrible hate crime at what should have been such a memorable happy day:-( My thoughts are with the Jewish community who must have been rocked by this atrocity:-( hugs Jan xx
