I am so appalled
why harsh violence happens
when Love is power
Precious, innocent
people killed so brutally
unnecessary
Will we ever learn
graceful tolerant kindness
peace and brotherhood
Ever-present good
has no hiatus nor lapse
strong and undefiled
Unconscionable
outrage, an anathema
unsanctioned by God
Screaming for healing
galvanized into action
we pray in hindsight
Staring evil down
holding fast to Love and Truth
correction occurs
Hunting for justice
replace odious offense
with real redemption
God we all need help
as winds of error blow hard
protect each of us
Safe within your Love
we are unassailable
defended, secure.
My God you are there
somehow blessing with your grace
everyone involved.
