Notes About The Poem

Every life is precious. Even conscientious soldiers hate to take life. The PTSD of seeing so much death. Every life is precious. We are not God and have no right to judge or take life. (2 Peter 2:10b-11 says: …Bold and self-willed, they are unafraid to slander glorious beings. Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord.)

Eye Spy

baby is crying
the three year old is “why-ing”
daddy fell off his pulpit
one eye spied red-blooded male
thought it okay to take life

This is tragic. So much despair in this world, drives victims and those who commit these things in the wake. Horrible.

Very relevant. These things hardly surprise us any more. The world is so crazed with hate. I was two miles away at a gym when that event took place

Nearby the event…too much of this going on. Prayers for their family!

Great penning. Such a sad topic, and, unfortunately, poignant. Felt this. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
