As we stand round this pool of blood
Another stain upon the neighborhood
A life cut short, a flame snuffed out
With no good reason tells what it’s about,
Blight of accumulating fears
Unable to wash away with our tears,
Nothing to do but leave this stain
And carry with us the lingering pain.

As we stand around this coffin
Reminiscing of the good that has been,
Six friends will carry him away,
Six feet down will he eternally lay.
His laughter will no longer greet,
Just a fading stain walked upon by feet.

I really liked this, i tried to invision my self in what you discribed which means you did a really good job in my humble opinion.

There's a peace inside us all
Let it be your friend
It will help you carry on
In the end
There's a peace inside us all

I am always reminded how much safer I am living here than in a larger city...yet the city has so much to offer.

A telling write, Professor...
how said our times have become...

would still look for good...
