I Shall Not Weep

I shall not weep, for him, nor for his crime Since while he killed he murdered noble lives And on that angered day, he muted the chime He jabbed them hard, with few sharp knives. He was death, the necrosis of time I shall not weep, for him as my angst thrives. He shall not bring back joy, and all pride lost For he has smeared them all, each cherished heart Mums' pains in their hearts, for each cry tossed, Dads enraged frown, for each smile falls apart Their memories, their thoughts, revenge at any cost He cries, for he is bad and they have to restart. We shall not weep, but if perchance we do It’s for the victims, for all the world to see For future events, we must begin a life anew Hope renewed, laws applied, lets all agree. No to stabbings, for we are angered by you Can I weep too? For anger cannot set us free. I shall not weep, for you, nor for your crimes I cry with joy, for them, and laugh sometimes. NOTES:- 7:46 a.m. April 10, 2013 A student DYLAN QUICK - stabbed at least 14 people at Lone Star College, a Houston-area community college. The attacks occurred in the Heath Science Center and possibly other buildings. Nehpets Gnik - written in Iambic Pentameter Wednesday 01/21/2015
