School shooting Haiku breaks my heart.

 
YES...
 Haiku honors nature.
Today however I can only speak
of what goes against my nature:
 
 
gun shots this morning
in our neighborhood high school
two teenagers dead
~
 
Yes it can and did happen here.
 
The school where my children went.
The school where my neighbors
children still attend.
I know these kids.
 
 
When will it stop?
 How many tear drops?

    many can't save themselves...
    i recorded a 20/20 special last night. the mother of one of the columbine shooters wrote a book. what signs she missed that her son was flailing. so heart-breaking...all of it.
