The Connecticut Massacre.


He was described as quiet, shy and socially awkward.
He was not the type to be loud, abrasive and forward.

He was highly intelligent and kept his thoughts to himself.
He didn't posses the tools to communicate with anyone else.

Whenever he spoke, his words felt forced and fake.
Who knew back then how many lives this man could take.

The realisation of his isolation was activated by the school premises.
He was never able to see his peers as friends but only as his nemeses.

But when he was home his alienation became none existent.
He was able to laugh and smile without any form of resistance.

The constant contrast in environments became too much for him to handle.
It was only an amount of time before he enacted some sort of immoral scandal.

After a confrontation at school he marched home to collect his mother's weapons.
His mother caught him in the act and tried to stop him as he reached for the second

Loaded rifle that was originally used as a source of family entertainment.
But this item would soon be used by an unstable and vengeful assailant.

He shot and killed his own mother in order to execute his immoral plan.
He then stormed back to his school with the loaded weapons in his hands.

He burst through the welcoming doors and shot at anyone in his line of vision.
He repeatedly shot innocent teachers and students with vindictive precision.

A total of twenty six bodies lay in their classrooms brutally murdered.
And just when you thought a human being could not possibly go further

He turned the gun on himself selfishly avoiding any responsibility.
Hundreds of police officers consequently then invaded the facility.

The horrific things human beings are capable of

Are enough to make you question whether there is a God.

How can someone take the lives of several young children and teachers?

How can we then go to a holy sanctuary and believe the words of a preacher?

When there are no answers to why we do such unspeakable things.

As long as mankind continues to thrive and survive,

There will always be suffering.

This piece was inspired by the recent news about the massacre in Connecticut. I followed and studied various news articles about the harrowing scenario and tried to incorporate rhythm and flow. I kept changing around the words lately I do not seem to be satisfied with my work I am not sure why lol I apologize if certain parts of my piece cause offense it is not my intention is to offend anyone's beliefs I am merely adopting a narrative voice and portraying what a lot of people are thinking. I respect anyone's choice in belief. Whenever I write a piece and read over it and just think it is of poor quality it's obviously some sort of deep seeded issue that I must solve lol anyway this piece makes sense and I hope you guys like it :)

While I understand why this is about the Connecticut Massacre (for you), I couldn't agree because of what I do know of the details. Regardless, this was written well and there have been more than enough young troubled shooters that this poem could fit with.

When I heard about this on the news, the first thing I thought was, if he wanted to kill himself, why didn't he just do it? He didn't have to take all those innocent lives with him.

Very well done.

As my late mom would say "Faces you see, souls you don't." The good news is that the kids and adults who died in that tragic accident will have another chance to live in the next life and give living the right way a chance. It is in the book "Mystery Of The Ages" written by the late Herbert W. Armstrong (1892-1986).

Wow, that's really good. The last bit is so true :( Every time something good is happening in the world, evil springs up to stop it! Well, there must be opposition in all things. Anyway. Nice work :)

I wonder if this man was taking any drugs. No, I don't mean Cocaine or Crystal Meth, I mean Percription drugs... Ritalin, Prozac, Anti-depressants, etc. I don't know how old this guy was, but it seems that another problem within the US is the number of pills popping in peoples' mouths, including minors. As of 2005, atleast 10% of kids in the US were on medication. I wonder what the numbers are today...

Not to mention how big the fear philosophy in the US is. You know, assume everyone is your enemy until proven otherwise?
Don't get raped instead of simply don't rape?

Adding guns to these equations aren't helping....

Also. Praise Lucifer. The herald of Light! He who fought against the oppressive tyrant that damns those of no danger to him to burn forever! He of the desire to free his fellow angels!
