VALERIE LYNN WRITES, Poem I wrote over 20 years ago...

Poem I wrote over 20 years ago...

When I was 9

You would think that in this world
Filled with so many people
One would want to help out
One another
But no…
Instead we are forced to grieve
The loss of innocent victims
Due to jealousy and greed
Mourn lives lost
Spilled blood
I will never understand
I will never comprehend
Why
Why God
Why
