Question
There were screams and blood
and then bodies on the floor,
no one prayed for this
but the prayers did come.
Oh why did it happen?
Why so many?
Why? Why? Why?
Each one allows tears to drench the earth,
every time more questions than answers,
each body carried home,
every family left empty.
Voices becoming louder,
anger for change boiling,
excuses failing.
But there is always more...
lessons never learned,
humanity never cherished,
bullets never ending - Why?
