The death, at the flash mob
happened in sightlessness
neither sugar nor glory
coats the grit
of the fall

no one to cradle him

locked in despair
wingless, in transit

somebody's brother
somebody's child.

Deeply regret all the senseless deaths which are occurring throughout America and indeed the world. Everyone want to blame it on guns. I blame it on the education system. I blame it on lack of character where taking a life means less to some that spitting on the sidewalk. I blame it on so many things, but the most important one I guess would have to be the undervalue of life. You have something I want and I will kill you for it and whistle a happy tune as I walk away from your body.

You captured all the sadness of such events in your powerful words, dear EmmaRose.

This hurts.
