I write down words, then take them away.
I can find none that will convey
The awful horror of today…

Their young laughter, song,
Stilled suddenly, was no more…
Teachers crumpled to the floor
All, all tomorrows gone.

A boundless rage born of our sorrow
Roars out across the land.
Keening, we bend to comprehend
Evil beyond evil. We cannot understand.

Forever now a shadow lies across our lives,
A tie that binds our agony.
Knot well this ribbon of our grief;
Hold them forever close in memory.

Sonnet
by Robert S. Putterman

We often thirst for what is first in life,
What is that precious thing that we
must know.
Because our days are often filled
with strife,
It’s hard to find the purpose for this show.

Perhaps, we’ve thought, the answer
is in wealth,
Although we know that that has
ne’er been true,
And then the subject of our constant health
Has always been there, out there in
the blue.
Since neither meet the test with
errless grace
