Today another man
Was murdered and dumped
In the trashcan!
The living came and wept
Helplessly at such atrocity
Against unsuspecting humanity!
Eight children slaughtered
Disbelief and horror choked the nation
People remained shocked and dismayed!
The living came with grieving hearts
To lay floral tributes for the slain
The little angels lay oblivious of this crime.
Ah! Another victim
Raped, gagged and dumped
In a shallow grave!!
Media lens swirled and captured
The horrendous act against humanity
Society stood bewildered and broken
Benumbed, startled and shaken
I stood there totally devastated
A burning prayer escaped
From my bleeding heart
“Oh Lord, send us no mor e!
End this insanity, Oh Lord!”
