Thoughts and Prayers

While loved ones bury their dead, who were peppered with lead, souls lacking a heart, offer a thought and a prayer over and over again, like a poetic refrain. Why do people at the top don’t do a thing to stop the propagation of guns that deprive our young sons, as well as our daughters of their youthful laughter? My thought and my prayer is, God will end all of this and ev’ry other evil, delighting the devil. Then all violence will cease, and man will dwell in peace.
