Horror In Texas

People worshiping peacefully Were struck down by bullets Happens far too often in this country Perhaps times will change for the better Let us pray that they will Violence begets violence Broken lives cannot always be repaired One day swords will be beaten into ploughshares Let us hope that day comes soon

a sad day and happening. Thank you for capturing it in words. And the ending lines are perfect for the occasion with the worshipers.
