Who will suffer these little ones?
Alone at this tender age
Robbed of unknown futures.
Because men could not
Abide one another in tolerance?
Because adults chose actions
Infantile in nature?
Egos raged as
Shots rang out.
--------------------------------------------
Strong idiologies
Erase reason and logic
Initiating carnage.
Bledout bodies
Already rotting in the sun
Belong to someone’s father.
Remember this legacy
As it predicts the future
When men learn nothing from history.

Stark images portray a strong message. To quote a famous song, "When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn"?
Excellent piece.
I wonder how many readers will see the mirrored acrostic in this piece. lol
Thanks for reading it.
