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
