Marilyn Williams Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

Dedicated To The Souls - Las Vegas.

 

 

Victim

Yesterday I had Hope.
                 Hope for humanity to fix itself.
Today I find that we have become Victims.
      It is all to many falling prey to vicious
       mass shootings.  Such as the attacks 
   on our citizens of the famous Las Vegas.
I find that Hope may be fading
for a darker side of life.
How can we help humanity
heal itself of these afflictions?
What will be a good end to
all the killings?
We talk about
Gun Control Policies.
What really can be done
to cure Hate
and, bring
the country together?
I can find no other
solution, but love
for one anoither.
To erase Hate
from our vocabulary.
To care for one
at a time each person
we may meet.
To teachg our young that the diffences is what makes us great together.
Stop the brickering among ourselves about our differences.
Show by example your Love for Humanity.
Show by your Love for one another that Humanity exist.
Decrease the violence.
Increase your worth.
Bring back Hope.
Bring back Peace.
Get Rid Of The Guns.
