The Tragedy

He mowed down so many and the blood is still warm on the ground Leaders spoke of healing Another mass murder There are far too many of them Blood, blood, blood Screams, screams, screams One asks oneself whether people are really good are are they evil I read somewhere that there are places souls go which not even demons dream of That is the case Find solace however you can Peace, Shalom, Peace

Very sad event Matthew, I think an awareness of selfless for the west as a Whole is a start; the selfish society; Does not seem to be helping true life Quality..For the greater populace..! I Think a trickle down effect of a Self-lessnes is Needed..!
