The Greektown Shooting

"You are not alone" she whispered to a dying girl while the angels swooped down to hold a pearl Unspeakable acts in a world of dishumanisation mental illness is spreading, inside our Nation.. Why is it the innocent pay for the debt of sick people they have never met?. I cannot imagine what Linda was thinking as she held a dying soul without blinking In memory of this beautiful soul that died let us bow our heads and prep our souls for a moment of quietude and silence Let us say a prayer for those who died Mental illness is like a candle stick snuffer extinguishing flames in a cone shaped world Its the innocent ones that go on to suffer in a world where violence/ treason is hurled.
