So much life lost.
What were they thinking?
Now we will never know.

So much hatred.
What were they thinking?
Now we will never know.

Those who lost their lives today
will never again see the sunrise.
The loved ones they left behind
will never again be the same.

We are all as one, the human race.
Our blood runs red.
Our hearts beat in rhythm.
All were given breath by one creator.

Such indifference to the beauty of life.

How could they?
What were they thinking??
Now we will never know.

This poem is dedicated to those who lost their
lives at Columbine High School in Colorado,
and the loved ones they left behind. My prayers go out to you.
