A Prayer
Death came out of the sky.
Those left behind can only ask why.
Their loved ones snatched so cruelly from them
They were just innocent souls not yet ready for heaven.
May the good lord take these souls and give them peace.
May their loved ones be given answers and release.
May their murders be brought to book, named and shamed
May this please stop now, may the like of this not be seen again.
