    Poem Commentary

    Dedicated to a friend whose was found murdered along with her child and possibly her husband on July 20,2010. Stop the violence and senseless acts. Rest In Peace Tabatha, Bill, and Logan. You will be missed.

    Senseless

     Somewhere in the world a child screams,
    Somewhere in the world a mother cries,
    Somewhere in the world a person dies.
    Murder,
    Suicide,
    Drugs,
    Alcohol.
    Senseless!
    Somewhere in the world someone is recieving news.
    News that will change their very lives.
    News that will break their hearts.
    Everyone dies at some point and time.
    Some die of old age.
    Yet others die at a young age.
    A baby and its mother are dead,
    Somewhere they have a family.
    A family who have just received the news.
    Somewhere a grandmother screams,
    Siblings cry,
    Fathers grow silent.
    Friends pray for answers.
    Somewhere an angel goes Home.
    Senseless acts cause a death,
    Causes a tear in a family,
    A tidal wave of grief ripples through a community.
    Friends come together to provide comfort to a family torn apart.
    No understanding.
    Why did they have to die.
    What did they do wrong.
    Questions with no answers.
    It's just senseless.
    No reasoning,
    No thoughts,
    Just GONE!
    In the blink of an eye.

    Writers have sensitive hearts about sharing what they feel strongly about, weather it be injustices to themselves or the world they love. Good for you, you state things well. Be well, k

    You have a singular way of phrasing things, I can't really figure it out, but it's cool with me. There's a matter-of-fact delivery in your narratives that give them kind of detached feeling. This is not criticism... I like it... it's fascinating.

    I normally try to say what I'm thinking in simple terms. I can't keep up with poems that use a lot of big terminology and I don't use it. It is also hard when it's like midnight and you can't sleep to come up with something that actually makes sense.I haven't been sleeping much for some reason. My fiancee say I'm stressed. haha I don't know what it feels like not to be stressed. But I know I'm stressed and it shows in my poetry. thanks I'm glad I fascinate you. This poem I wrote for a girl I went to school with whose husband got drunk and shot her, their son, and then himself just a few weeks ago. I write about things that affect me in some way or another.

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
