Oh ... The flesh and families that bullets rend ... much deeper wounds to souls don't mend. How can we hope to end the strife ... if monsters spurn the worth of life? How do we solve a madness sown ... when evil's face is like our own? And can our kids thus reconcile ... if closet beasts now wear a smile? Thus once again we quell their fears ... and lave the blood with senseless tears.

What a terrible tragedy that should never be forgotten. reminds me of the recent killing in a Texas church, the world we live in makes it mandatory to take your guns to church. Sadly emotional this write, I thank you Greg for reminding us!
