so many hurt

so many lives lost
so many lives not found

how do we pick up the pieces
and resume back to our lives

when nothing will ever be the same
and this will always be in the back of our minds

so many things we still think about
schoolwork, our plans for the evening

but everything now seems so petty
when we take a chance and think

that it was someone's b-day, anniversary today
and they aren't around to enjoy it

the plenty of people still struggling
to hold onto their lives

while many others to remember what life was like
without those special people

i just want to say, that i didn't know of anyone
that died in these devastating catastrophes,
and the pain that i feel is horrendous
my heart goes out to everyone that lost a love one
and as much as this was a horrible act of violence
maybe we will learn to get along and realize that life
is precious and we can't take it for granted

the earth is a small sphere in a huge universe, and you
think, when it that perspective, people could get along
