Danica Richey Poet Free verse

Begging For Justice

14,000 bodies
sprawled on the floor
bloody
dead

14,000 families 
screaming to the sky
confused
alone

14,000 bullets
laying empty on the ground
dented
stained

14,000 screams
echoing through the air
desperate
scared

How can we let this happen?
How can we look at our children and tell them the world is good?
When there are 14,000 people
Who would tell them otherwise

Meanwhile, I greet you with a Joyous New Year with this prayer from the Bible in Numbers 6:24-26, "The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace."
