So many lost from the diabolic plan
of a selfish, conniving, evil madman.
Peaceful Norway is consumed with sorrow
and no one knows who will weep tomorrow.

Satan had planted him on the earth,
made him a disciple at his birth.
He looks as normal as you and I
but he's plotted for years that others should die.

Helpless young folks were sacrificed,
only the best for him sufficed.
So many good folks are now in mourning
because viciousness struck without a warning.

Norway has been so crime free it appears,
their harshest sentence is twenty-one years.
Twenty-one years, not enough to pay
unless twenty-one years for each life that day.

...Twenty-one years, not enough to pay
unless twenty-one years for each life that day...
Yes. But, I am a firm believer of the ultimate.

Well done. I feel your sorrow.

Thank you, Joyce, for expressing so well what many of us feel.  It's a sad time.
