FRIDAY THE 14TH

Friday the 14th
America stopped to cry
as the innocence of a country
brutally died
the world shed a tear
as evil attacked our schools
there is no place safe
from these psychotic fools
God bless America
and never forget
the twenty little angels
who had not started living yet

thought of the day

POETRY IS A VIEW OF THE WORLD FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF THE DREAMER WHO TRANSFORMS HIS VISIONS TO WORDS AND PUBLISHES THEM FOR THE WORLD TO SHARE.
