This is for the 26
When your lives were taken
It makes no sense
The ugly man
Did what he can
But the bravery I heard
Teachers deserve
It’s the time like this
In death or to live
The bravery that comes
Fear that’s shunned
It’s what makes a person rise to the feat
Face the enemy and not retreat
The Lord have mercy
The Lord has plans
The Lord forgive
Those at hand
Please Lord, give peace to those behind
And let not this happen, this hideous crime
Be it known that life is sacred no matter where
Be it Palestine, Pakistan, or USA
The blood from the wounds cause so much pain
Blood is not cheap
Just the story in vain
Let there be moments of silence for massacres everywhere
Hitting home reminds us life is respected no matter where
This is a poem
At this time
For the 26 who passed
To their lives…
