Somewhere in our hearts and on this earth must grow the stars of hope
For a stop to the violence that is showing up in our children by sporatic acts of violence
Such as the story I am about to tell
A story that no mother should have to endure to include her innocent child called "victim"
| Not long ago in our small "relatively crime free" city, |
|---|
A mother stood weeping in disbelief that her son was killed |
senslessly by a boy who didn't even know her son |
| . |
This boy "suspect" was supposidly "hired" by another boy to "punch without warning" a boy whom he may have not even known" |
And it is said,"for reasons of which he was not made aware of" |
When a boy should be walking up to another and saying"
|
|---|
Do you want to play ball with my friends?", |
Or " Hello, my friend wants to work out the differences that you seem to be having with him" |
"He is my friend, a good person, so please try to " talk it over" , |
"Can I help?" |
The "accused" it was reported, threw a " blind, sucker punch" |
that would within the next 48 hours, END, the young life of somebody he didn't even know" |
Hard to imagine for most of us? Yes! But REALITY for anyone |
who cared for the "victim" as a human being. |
How much like lightning did this young boy's punch inflict it's fatal jolt |
 |
Please talk to your children about being kind and stoping violence |
|---|
I know there is much to do |
But we all have time to think |
And the mother of a child is still grieving |
Just think it could be your child that you shall Never have to hold again. |
| and we must understand, it could also have been our child |
|---|
who made a bad decision to "act""without thinking" |
without a kind heart even for a "quick blow" |
not intended to inflict "much harm" |
| Please lets talk to our children about having a "kind,peaceful,heart" |
|---|
Take a "gold heart" and make it a new symbol of "hope" |
It will take all of us to stop senseless violence. |
