No angels here

Daniel

As we mourn the loss of innocence
No trumpets sound no angels cry
A mother screams unto the heavens
To ask why god would let her child die

Questions asked no answers given
People's words they pierce like thorns
Clumsy sentiment can't ease this grief
No pious wisdom will help them mourn

There is no meaning or great plan
No higher fate or Divine providence
No comfort found in hollow script
Can explain this loss off innocence

        Excellent. Sometimes there just are no words to say appropriate enough to comfort when loss is experienced. Your poem understands this.

                That has always been a bitter pill to swallow. We can always come up with others who deserved to die. Well done.
