on world happenings

one boy killed
twenty young innocents
from the innocence

from the blood spilled
innocence seeped into the earth

out of this came good
a new thought came to be
and won't die
innocence can't die
it will live on in the families,
extended families, and the families of the world.

i was wondering.

jesus was innocence
he was a good man
killed by what -
not by guns -
but maybe by fear, by jealousy, anger
from that one act of killing
people remembered
and a new world was birthed
goes on being birthed  every day.

the holocause was innocence
killed by guns,
by gas, by cremation
again, anger, fear, jealousy, greed
and a new world was birthed.

inhumanity of man to man
to  woman, to child - to god.

and yet there were acts of goodness too
they have been handed down.
