Love From the Uk

This morn I woke before the sun
The sky was dark and menacing
Just like the man who yesterday
Shooting his gun indiscriminately 
Those innocent lives he took away
A massacre after a bright sunny day

Mass killings are now three hundred and seven
Of innocent souls who are now in heaven
In days now totaling three hundred and eleven
These evil creatures instigating Armageddon 

There is nothing I can really say 
but wish they’d take those guns away
On this deeply sad, traumatic day 
My thoughts are in the USA
I send my love and hope and pray
that you will all keep safe today



Written after another mass shooting headlined our News Bulletins

I keep saying if the media does not stop glorifying the coward-bully who is the perpetrator, we are all doomed. Do not tell us about the coward-bully's life, do not give us his photos from childhood and tell us how sad it was. Do not give him a name. Just say "a coward-bully" walked into a ....and. It is so sad that weak people who have nothing else see this as an avenue to fame, Ann. Thank you for thinking of us. We should all protest the media for making the c-b so visible.
