A Poem for the Lost Innocent

       Heres a poem dedicated to those who lost someone they loved today, or anyday, because of someone else. 

Just another day in

expecting it to go by like all the rest

never taking in

or living it to best

how quickly it can all flip

just a simple flick to a light switch.

Why must others suffer

for you to feel content?

why did you mark their lives

with such scarring moments.

and why must you take lives,

like a thief with little prospects.

The tears that flowed out of others eyes

at such horrid actions.

the presents that will stay wrapped

sitting in some secret spot

never to see the joy on their intendeds faces.

you may have wanted to go out with a bang

and somehow make the news

but you have hurt so many others lives

and will haunt such young's memories

for an incredibly long time.

How could you look right into someones innocent eyes

eyes that could have seen his world for more than their short time

and steal their most precious gift,

the one none could ever re-give?

you must remember what it was like to be a child.

The ignorant happiness of a world you once lived

did anyone set a flame to the walls

and bring them crumbling down in a fall like you did?

so that the terrorized soul

will be left in a room full of terror and pain,

wondering what someone could ever gain,

from ruining what is the best story ever told of being only a few years old.

so far gone you were

convinced that what you were doing was perfectly good

what a horrid place your thoughts must have been resided 

a world that even the evilest had nightmares based off of.

they didn't even stand a chance

to the bullets you were going to place

through their pure, 

and golden,

barely lived in hearts.

But what karma knows,

and what you don't,

is that god now has new angels

who will end what violence and murder you finished your life on.

 I just wrote this poem today for all the victims that were killed cold-heartedly today in Connecticut. i don't know the correct numbers, but i know about 20 children were killed, and roughtly 7 others were also. I absolutely despise people who think doing something bad to someone else will make them feel better. not just for the shooting, but for other instances where people are mentally or physically hurt. You never know what you say or do can affect to not only the person you were attacking, but to the people they love. being mean to someone is never the right choice even if they do deserve it. as cheesy as it sounds, be the bigger person because you never know if an act of kindness can overrule an act of harm that that person faced/ are going to face. Back to the terrible moment that happened today, my heart goes out to those directly affected, because to be honest, i don't think anyone in this country wasn't affected. my heart goes out to all of those people who are going home tonight without thier loved ones. my heart literally ached and broke when hearing of this. I was in the car with my mom, and to see my mom almost in tears ranting and explaining about the situation, while my little brother sat in the backseat just made me realize even more that our lives really aren't meant to be taken for granted, and to truly appreciate everything we get in life, because who are we to be so selfish and ungrateful not to? sorry for the long rant, but it really made me feel disgusted and heart-broken to hear about such a terrible news.
