Save
the Children
Students
killing students in false havens
Are
there no boundaries in human suffering?
Vigilance
is needed to prevent death
Education
of morally right and wrongs renew
Teaching
love and tolerance of life and mankind
Hatred
crushed with music, prayer, and art
Envelop
peers suffering in silence
Care
for the peers in need
Help
stamp out the belief of "I'm better than you."
If
we do not save the bleeding children
Life's
lessening value screaming in gunfire
Destruction
of a Nation at war with itself
Rewards
of indifference and non-tolerance
Education
of hope for life, not death
Needed
for innocent shed blood crying for future students
I wrote this so many years ago but today with the shootings in Connecticut it seems relevant again. I am saddened to see the need for this again.
Save
the Children. For all the students
injured or killed by an act of hatred or self-loathing; my heart aches for the
loss of your innocence and value. For
those who suffer in the heart with loss; I grieve with you. As I hold my children, I
tremble in spirit wishing I could keep them safe always in the presence of my
arms. May God have mercy on us for our
children killing children and guide us to stop the violence of a Nation at War
with itself in confines of lost innocence and life.
