The Texas Slaughter

Hate, racism, and sightless ignorance

Joined their evil forces in Texas today

For to kill: children, grace, and innocence

Thus making humanity go astray!*

A fallen world we live in. It is hard to understand why these acts are a monthly event. Almost like an evil sinister force is behind it. Shools and churches need armed guards to protect the children and perishners. We are living in the last days my friend. Be blessed

It's a terrible thing to happen, and my prayers are with their parents. Nobody anywhere in the world wants their children to lose their lives in a situation like that.

Yes, it is the most terrible thing to lose a child. One can never understand it till he loses one! I pray never to happen to any parent. Thank you for your kind visit and comment. Be blessed!

Thank you for sharing this, Demetrios. My heart is breaking today, and I feel dread as I watch my own children leave the house. All I can do is pray but it doesn't feel like enough. I wrote a poem about it too, but I think it is more if an angry rant. I had to get my feelings on paper. Blessings to you, Rhonda xx

It is a horrific story that unfortunately repeats itself in USA. I am devastated! How can someone so evil as to kill so many innocent children? It is inconceivable! Thank you for your precious visit and comment, dearest Rhoda. I read your excellent poem. Be blessed!
