Young Woman - Gone
She was a woman
who fought for her rights
Struck down by a
mindless murderer
An offbeat note
in a symphony of hate
Her legs will no longer
traverse the green campus
All of her love
Her desires for the future
ended
A newspaper tells
this tale
An empty seat in the
class
Just as spring returns
So life will continue
The earth still revolves
Around the sun
Minus one
