Poem – Ache

I want to spew,

vomit from my mouth,

when I hear the news.

Massacre they say.

It happens too often.

How many lives?

How many should we lose?

What can be done?

My heart is wrapped in barbed wire,

the barbs cutting deep into the meat,

restricting the flow.

I can’t feel my legs.

I’m numb to the touch.

The victims I pray for.

The loved ones who are left behind.

I pray for you as well.

Life is so fragile.

I can’t believe how quick it goes.

Hold your loved one today.

Hold them tight like you never want them to go.

Love, we all need.

Peace on Earth.

Indeed.

With all the massacres we’ve endured as of late I just thought I had to write something about it.  Anyone reading this, for me, please, go and hug your kids.  Go and hug your significant other.  Call your parents and tell them you love them.  Just do something.  Make sure your loved ones know how much you love them.
