Can anything redeem those Innocence?

Connecticut Elementary School Shooting - Dec 2012 Poems

   A prayer,  a sad, painful   memory,

    a  candle  or  lamp  relives  your  life,

   also    those   departed noble  souls,

    silenced  into   suffering.

    The    bright   wick  of  lamp  glows,

   Fear  is  shed, pale   darkness

   recedes  like  a  defeated, dying  soldier.

  the illumined  glow  shines  

   as  if  with  a  warming  smile.

   But  this  to  stay  only

   a   short while .

 When  the  Dawn  of  Christmas  is  too  close,

 Those  innocent lives  are  also closed 

  To  be  opened  in   a  New  Haven,

 By  a  violent   trigger of   vile  bullet,

What  was    shed  was   Innocence,

What  was   cut short  was   tomorrow’s

Future  with  high  feats  and laurels:

What  blinds  those cruel with  calumny?

What binds those with wicked  treachery?

The  thread of Universal Peace

  and Harmony Is  jeopardized,

Can   anything  redeem  those

Innocence   and  lives precious?
