 In the Prose of Passion

Unlucky Twelve


They never thought it'd happen
That this was their last day
Going to the movies
To see the Dark Knight play

Little did they know it
That lurking in the dark
Another sickened person
Would break so many hearts

He never brought suspicion
They thought it was an act
Prepared with ammunition
Gas mask and dressed in black

Enjoying the first minutes
He caught them by surprise
Before it was all over
Unlucky twelve had died

A senseless act of hatred
So many lives erased
What made this person do this
Why was he filled with rage

The victims and their families
Who woke up on that day
Not knowing this would happen
Their day would end this way

I pray to God in heaven
Please rid us of this pain
Our hearts are torn and broken
Please send down healing rain

We may not ever know why
What caused this senseless crime
But one thing that we know of
Our hope's in Jesus Christ
