There will be no tears for the sad ones Or the lone baby who’s been slaughtered Why do men want death and shoot life with guns Kill the children, men and even mothers For what and for whom, are we killing for Would they not strangle life from cribbed babies? How could this of been, where are we heading towards So soon to forget all the evils in man With smiles on faces betting on death One hundred yards and a six gun in hand Blow the leg off a babe that’s what it gets Being a child of a downtrodden race The crying of ancients who died all alone Pushed so swiftly to some secluded place Only to see a great hell on their home Killed all their children and stabbed mother earth They’re far from the seasons stopping her birth |

VERY powerful, impactful and thought-provoking sonnet...I think every good person with a compassionate heart questions all these things, it's a sad reality of life that should never have been. Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

It is very powerful and alarming. How does mankind stand for it? A quandary, for sure. miscellaena |
