American grief

American grief

Lower the moon to half mast

For American grief

The moon does not shine

On nights like this

The sun dips in grief 

Hearts are heavy with pain

In the blink of an eye 

A tear is formed

In grief, in pain 

In disbelief

Inside this heart 

Things have come apart

And the moon shall not smile again 

For 50 

Men and woman

Children of God

You know Jai I wonder when I walk into a comfortable place with my family and my mind keeps thinking are we safe or is there a lifeless coward planning to take innocent lives. We shouldn't have to feel like that but on the other hand maybe we should be more observing. Good write, it is very sad I pray for them and their families.

Yes I wonder where I will die

at the local KFC or shopping 

centre, or if im

lucky natural causes

dangerous place the earth; 

stay home maybe but then cant pay

rent; no use predicting 

live each day like I read your poem

appreciate each moment blue skies

Best from Jai :(
