Sea Of Tears

Newtown is a sea of tears
The ripples felt in the world
They weep for their babes
Into a ball of shock they are curled

A nobody, took their babes
A nobody is what he should remain
Can someone who is so evil
Be deserving of his spoken name?

I'm dumbfounded and broken
I cannot bring myself to watch the news
For it's painful, it's all too much
So to not hear and see, is what I choose

Time and time again in this world
It's children who suffer the most
For those who are left behind
Their pain is an invisible host

I don't confess to know the answer
All I hear my heart saying is why?
I don't want to see or hear tragedy
There's always something to make me cry

The world possesses such beauty
Yet the ugliness of sick, twisted souls
Tarnish and stain all that is there
Their actions, to hurt, their only goal

This week alone I saw a woman
Beating her 12 month baby girl
It had gone viral on the web
I was shaken, my mind in a twirl

Then I'm told of more sick doings
An abuser of a precious baby
The baby died from her injuries
Her abuser alive in jail, how can it be?

I often wonder what is around the corner?
Do any of us ever really know?
Will our own paths cross with evil?
What would happen if it does so?

So for now I'll hold my babies close
Knowing they are safe here with me
Thinking of all those innocent babes
Taken away so very tragically

It happens everyday, every hour
Each minute and every second
How much more can we take?
Evil minds are a force to be reckoned

Here we had Dunblane, I never forgot
For each child I lit a candle of hope
Today I shall do the very same
By way of remembering, trying to cope

I hold all those affected in my thoughts
And even closer in my pained heart
Though we are all strangers from afar
The worldwide sorrow may cite a new start

To remember those who lives have been brutally taken and those who have been affected by their loss....it's safe to say the world grieves with you

Writing has been my friend since a teenager...I laugh, cry, think, pretend, smile as I do it. I feel that I communicate better through my writing as in person I can appear a tad scatty.

School Shooting..

What brought you. To kill those innocent angels. What brought you. To shatter their lives. What brought you. To scar the rest. What brought you. To pull the trigger. What brought you.

Grievous And Silent

I cannot shed tears for you, You know, For then I'd never stop They'd just Keep Falling Down. I cannot bend Or break an inch One tiny crack In this castle of glass Will bring The whole thing Down.

We Are

We survive, We go on, What doesn't kill us makes us strong. We hurt, We cry, Always try but lie. We see, We believe, But judge it constantly. We bully, We destroy, Just to fill ourselves with joy.

Negate

Who are you to point and judge. Have you no one at all to love. The reason for all fear and hate, all you do is sit and negate. Tears soon come simply because, all you do is point and judge.

My eyes filled with tears, Making reality of my fears, Today I lost you, You will be missed terribly too, It is horrible knowing it's true, Knowing there is no more you.

It's just horrendous isn't it. It saddens me deeply. I haven't seen the news about the baby. But why why why? πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ˜” I've done a peice too this morning as words just fail me.

πŸ˜­πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ’”πŸ’” a very true piece and words!

@sarahgamal @eddie12309 ...my nan told me about the little baby who was abused, on Facebook was the video of a Malaysian hitting her little girl and now Newtown...I daren't watch the news as it affects me too much...I stopped watching it when all that's happening in Syria began to upset me...some can shrug it off but I can't...I had to write this one out...so many despicable, deluded, psychos in the world and often they are free to do it in the name of politics, religion, or insanity...we put down a dangerous dog yet because of so called human rights we can't put these vile humans in the ground...those who are so say 'punished' are allowed to live a life in jail, no stress of life, bills to pay, food to put on the table, no they get meals, education, treats for good behaviour and above all are still alive when they have done the cruelest things to innocent people...I don't see how that's punishment and justice ...so disillusioned with it all...😞😞😞😞😞😞

@misslittleDHP I agree! Very sad, and brilliant poem with a great messageπŸ‘πŸ˜’πŸ˜’

I really appreciate this. This massacre happened in my home state. A child in my church died. The grief and confusion I feel is unspeakable.

A very heartbreaking piece the evil in this world sickens me πŸ˜₯πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ‘

@blingey123 that's so sad. My heart goes out to all the families. It's just a tragic loss of life

@eddie12309 And I so appreciate your care and comfort even though you're so far away. It means a lot that you guys care. πŸ’š

@blingey123 THANKYOU for your kind comment during this time of inconsolable time...I wish I could do more to ease the grief...you all are in my kindest thoughts ✨😘✨😘✨😘✨😘✨

@sjw doesn't it just my sweet...I feel so strongly about this, it's surprised even me, my utter contempt and outrage for so called human beings...it's a cruel world and I'm fed up with good people being killed, scarred and abused by pieces of scum...I think I need sedating as I'm soooooo fired up...thanks for your comment my sweet πŸŒΉπŸΈπŸ’

@sjw a pair of the loveliest shoes for the lovely RP πŸ‘ πŸ‘ 

@BethyBoo...thanking you my sweet for kindly reposting πŸ’πŸŒΉπŸ˜˜

@blingey123 sorry for your loss you are all in my thoughts πŸ˜”

I just started thinking what I was doing when the shooting started. I was in school too but I was safe. We take so much for granted. Thank you for this piece. It helped me think of my blessings.

@Klaire I think we all take things for granted my lovely..THANKYOU for your thoughtful comment ❀😘

Thank YOU for this poem 🌹🌹@misslittleDHP

@carolsgregory...I THANKYOU my sweet for reposting 🌹✨🌹

@MrsS...thanking you gorgeous for the RP ✨❀✨

I've been under the weather recently and not on here so often, so I missed this one. I know just how you feel, it's all so overwhelming lately and, as you said, I don't have any answers. Nonetheless, a beautiful write Kim πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Worldwide love, thoughts and prayers be with all those suffering at this particularly difficult time βœ¨πŸ’—πŸ™πŸ’—βœ¨ 😘

@MrsS it's hard isn't it...I try to shrug it off, emotionally detach myself but it's hard to do so and if I manage to I then feel guilty and heartless...so many sick and damaged people out there who are often allowed to roam freely...tick tick ticking...then it's the innocent who become their victims...I don't read papers or watch the news anymore as it hurts too much...I'm going to live in my own little bubble...you can join me too my sweet...hoping you are feeling a bit better, to think of you down makes me get that old sad face again 😞😞😞

I'm not that down!!! 😊😘😘 smile... πŸ˜„πŸ˜„ I love that bubble idea - I'm in! πŸ‘ I feel guilty too, but then I realise what's the point - there's very little we can do about what has been done. Sending them love and prayers across the water.... And make our own little worlds as best we can - that's something positive we can all do 😊😘πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ Coming on here helps πŸ’—

@MrsS that's for sure...I suppose Opuss is our own little bubble 🎈🎈🎈

@misslittleDHP Aye, that it is 😊🍰🍰
