There Are No Words

There are no words

There are no words, to describe the pain
there are no words to try to explain

How senseless gun violence is!

There are no words, there are way too many tears
there are no more words to allay your many fears

From wicked evil acts!

There are no words, to describe how we feel
there are no words, the numbing pain is real

The loss is overwhelming!

There are no words, to explain why man kills
there are no words to explain or justify the thrill

There just... are no words!
This poet is...left speechless!



A young mother who is pregnant is shot dead in her car in Toronto
no known motive.Her baby delivered by C section died yesterday.

Christina Grimmie popular young singer shot dead signing autographs after concert.

We have little or no gum crime on our little Island - such tragedies that we read about all too often:-( hugs Jan xx

Yes the Bee Gees did spend some of their childhood here and wrote a gorgeous song about the Island Called Ellan Vannin - up until his death Robin still had a house over here:-) hugs jan xx
