Violence will beget violence,
Turn people, subanimal,
(Not wanting to insult
higher creatures)
I name it a vile monster,
That sometimes wears a human mask.
*
How could you kill what was helpful
In cold blood?
Everything else kills for purpose,
But you have killed for a lie.
*
Margaret,
Martyr of peace;
Rice bowl, brim filled
Medicine bag dangling;
A room has been prepared
For you,
By Mother Teresa
In heaven.

a heinous crime, sadly it will only end, when both sides stop...God, why must people kill?  In the name of religion?

So sad, and yes, I'm angry to Ice.

Sorry...so sorry

Thank you Ford,  this truly is a tragedy
that should have never been.  So senseless,
and they will never meet a God who will
be pleased of their cowardice.

Rest assured, each comment allows me an increment of healing..

Peace_________ice/ford
