Hate, racism, and sightless ignorance Joined their evil forces in Texas today For to kill: children, grace, and innocence Thus making humanity go astray!* © Demetrios Trifiatis 26 May 2022 - * Salvador Ramos, an eighteen-year-old youth, after shooting his grandmother, attacked a primary school in Texas USA, where he killed nineteen children, aged from seven to ten-year-old as well as their two teachers. Police killed him on the spot. R.I.P our little angels.

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!

So sad Demetrios can't imagine the pain that their parents are going through at the moment. Tom

It is better for someone not to be in the shoes of those parents! Thank you for your gracious visit, my friend, Tom. Be blessed!
