We are now a nation of sadness while mourning
our losses.
Out of the darkness come those who willfully take
the lives of the innocents.
Is this the result of societal divisions where
devastating viewpoints are now in order?


We ask, what are the motives of such abhorrent
behavior?
We must seek out the possibilities of a cure for this
sickness that has infiltrated the land.
One cannot help but question how we appear in
the eyes of the rest of the world.

This unending carnage and pain is repeated with an
alarming frequency.
This nation is now losing more of its people than in
recent conflicts.
What is happening goes beyond the realm of a
political problem, and solutions must involve
everyone.
