This is a poem i wrote in 2012 on several sites, about the U.S school shooting, which I have now modified to include the Iranian school childern bombing by foreign dìctators,
that killed over a 112 girl students)
( news report: On December 14, 2012, a mass shooting occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, United States. The perpetrator, 20-year-old Adam Lanza, shot and killed 26 people. The victims were 20 children between six and seven years old, and six adult staff members. Earlier that day, before driving to the school, Lanza fatally shot his mother at their Newtown home. As first responders arrived at the school, Lanza killed himself with a gunshot to the head. )
My heart bleeds
for the misdeeds
of man killing man,
But a waterfall of tears
shed from pupils of the eyes
when and whenever
it's school pupils murdered,
The parents apple of their eyes
Lives and schools too sacred
to be massacred therein..!!
I recall of U.S
that one man shootout
Thoughts raced my mind for answers
I think, was it a madman lagerlout?
Indeed drugs, drinking and lack of parental supervision
could together form a lethal combination
Such fatal carelessness and recklessness
must be caused as well by godlessness
so atheism kinda completes self-destruction's equation...
To be able to commit senseless matricide, homicide then suicide
surely requires ample frustration!
As poet Blackpool Jimmy put it,
'lil ones who hardly said hello
are made to bid adieu'
I add, 'investigation into societal causes
is ever highly long due.
For this terrible atrocity
my heartfelt condolence
for loss of innocence
whether the kids are Muslim,
Christian or Jew
I despise all killer instinct ferocity
Innocent angel kids now in heaven
like doves do coo.:'(.
Woe to him, tis for certain for sure
twas a horrendous way
to settle with life the score!
for killers, we believers know,
never rest in peace
whether they kill a stranger, brother,
mother or niece!
And now this latest,
This time a school bombing air strike,
innocent Iranian school students
razed down and erased from earth,
Blood of innocence spilled
and little hearts killed
by heinous evil...
Alas ,shame woe be
on those who maim children
for mercenary claim...
Gazan kids too still reeling
from wounds not healing...!!!

These people don’t care about kids it’s unfortunate, but they’re soulless
Indeed, thanks soo much for a great comment supporting peace over war.
To the multitudes of innocents whose lives are ended and many more whose lives are destroyed to gain nothing for the "winners" and horrors for the" losers". Will we ever learn? Thank you for your poem. Let's all spread love and hope it sticks.
Yes thanks soo much for comment vouching for peace as opposed to war,
A sad poem of violence against the innocent in a senseless or apparently senseless manner (all actions have a motivation). Death and murder with motive often mistaken. Sad that most such are over disputes in beliefs well written
Yes and but they are materialistic wars for oil and resources only.
Thanks soo much for eloquent comment calling them out,
You are most welcome
The innocent and defenceless are the “poor” that we always have among and around us and it is only too sad they are inevitably the first to go in hostility. Might doesn’t make right it should defend rights🙏🏻🕊️
So true, the defenseless suffer the brunt sasly. Thanks so much for comment understanding their plight.
you have captured the brutal slaying of innocents beautifully..
fantastic work
Warm thanks for sympathetic comment for humanitarian plea

Powerful and poignant. Vivid and sharp.
