is your heart like mine

 

is your heart dishearten with sorrow, like mine, when you

hear that children’s lives were stolen by the hand of one

with a gun, one who has also lost himself in this World that

has given way to no longer valuing ‘life’?

 

is your mind, like mine, disenchanted where the concept of

hope and wishes, that ‘man’ has not progressed beyond

thinking that killing and war, guns, are the means to

resolving one’s conflicts and eliminating the woes?

 

and if this be so, that you also are befuddled, then we are

in the same state of mind and heart, our spirits are mingled

in a common entanglement, sharing the similar angst and

anguish

 

being aware of this, we must hold each other’s hand and

walk slowly together to mitigate this burden alone, this

anguishing pain, and gather our resolve to make our lives

better, but more importantly, for our children and theirs…
