| Sheltered in the womb Years of loving care to bloom Lost with one gunshot. HAIKU POEM ROSALIENE BACCHUS |
Layer by layer, The onion loses life, peeled, By insanity. Death by senseless death, The world loses innocents; Heaven gains its stars. The tears of angels Flood our universe with grief — The tipping point gained, Its settling unknown — Known only this — attention, This time, must be paid. |
Innocents Lost Ann Wilmer-Lasky |
| SAVE OUR CHILDREN |
I truly believe in the right to bear arms. I also truly believe
that we don't need to bear assault rifles. But then there's that
militia thing. I also believe in a well-armed militia being our
final line of defense (not sure about the "regulated" part). I
don't know where the answer lies, but I do know this - our
innocents should not be paying the price.
~ ANN WILMER-LASKY, comment made on her blog following the
massacre of 20 first graders and 6 adults at an elementary school in
Newton, Connecticut, on December 14, 2012.
