Bloodstains on the sidewalk

mark the spot where

the world unraveled



Evil ran rampant that day

recorded and retold on the evening news

Menacing the innocent now all too common



Watching in horror from the safety of our homes

We weep and mourn for those lost

We weep and mourn for opportunities stolen



A crack in our belief

that Good always wins

Another senseless death threatens our faith



We weep and mourn for those lost

We weep and mourn for opportunities stolen

We weep and mourn for what we are becoming
