Florida School Schooting

A poem~ For Alyssa


"Lost border collie...Jordan"
Dedicated to the beautiful children
lost in a Florida massacre!


We can't find Jordan anymore 
He's lying under Alyssa's bed.
He does not know she is dead 
A killer's bullet in her head.

The TV stations ..ratings mad,
Flash her picture.
Jordan's eyes grow sad
Her father is stark raving mad.

So, off to the cemetery they go 
With balloons and flowers
And bleeding hearts... And...
Endless tears, sleepless nights

He cannot walk her down the aisle.
Nor will he see her children smile.
And those of us with progeny
Feel their pain with ultimate agony.
