Where does the love go
\nWhen a child goes astray
\nSo far from the path of love
\nLove’s light is a deep shade of gray<\/p>\n
Where does the meanness come
\nSo much anger deep inside
\nA mother’s love could not help
\nHer tears have all been cried<\/p>\n
Death surrounds the child
\nLike a blanket, close and warm
\nHe uses it, so he claims
\nTo keep safe from harm<\/p>\n
And when the blanket closes
\nTakes his own life away
\nThe world it may celebrate
\nOn that very day<\/p>\n
But though his absence
\nMay be a good and just thing
\nIt is a sad melody
\nThat we should only sing<\/p>\n
****<\/p>\n

I am making a reference here, subtle or otherwise, to the death of Osama bin Laden.\u00a0 I am happy he is dead, but I do not celebrate it.\u00a0 It shames me to be happy, for although he was, by the definition of many, evil, he was still human.<\/p>\n

Enough for this week.\u00a0 See you Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
