A fine write Bella.
Meanwhile - a fictional daft write on this theme, from me, beginning:
Me end had come
They chucked me in an old tea chest
But no! They needed the chest for more tea
So they tipped me on the rubbish heap.
Where I mixed with old manure!....... (heehee)
I write some rubbish sometimes. lol.

Why? Yes a complicated question, though only three letters long. Access to guns by those that shouldn\'t have them, troubled individuals that go undetected, lack of parental monitoring, video games that encourage killing and criminality. A question that goes unanswered.

Paul Bell said:

Steve summed it up.
How the hell can you be allowed to buy assault rifles. Does no one ask questions, does no one do background checks. Some shootings are preventible, and if checks were done, this would be one of them. 19 kids killed because the law allows lunatics to buy rifles.

The gun culture in the USA is dreadful Bella, surely guns should not be allowed for all to buy.

A terrible tragedy AGAIN. The Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania Australia1996 led to the historic gun control act in Australia. I wonder what it will take in USA. Your lines show your despair, your grief. I am so sorry too.

When I woke up to these news, my mind went straight to the Parkland Shooting that happened just a few miles from where I used to live. My heart is so heavy to know that these types of massacres are still occuring at alarming rates. We can truly only hope for better days.

It seems the USA need not worry about terrorist attacks, americans of all backgrounds are killing each other off without help from terrorists.

P.S. It\'s not guns which kill people, it\'s the ammunition.

the world has become a dangerous place to live in not just because of people who does wrong but even more because of the society that ignores such acts. indeed! such a powerful message, you have expressed with an exquisite flow of words.

Swan Lake

The balance of passion and perfection
The connection to soul that rhythm
A ballet means so much
Imbibed in an innocent heart
Stays forever with us
Truly appreciate your lines and I am so glad you did justice to an artist
Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece
It inspires me…

Stringed as senryu
So true my dear friend…

Amen to this Bella, honestly. Being \"woke\" and tactful in a time like this is honestly a treasure. I know that with enough kindness and love we can save ourselves from out impending doom.

Swan Lake
Paul Bell said:

That is a sad state, yet the music brings her back to life for a while.
I suppose stardom is fleeting and must be grabbed with both hands.
