In despair, doves fly away(Ode to Sandy Hook massacre).
A somber day
Another day,
A fear Day
A new day,
In the East, after Sandy’s wrath, we took
After it sowed its destruction with jab and hook
The tears shed, not dry, and already Sandy hook!
Are these plagues from Exodus in the good book?
We believe despair and desolation are for adulthood
Not for little children and faculty in the neighborhood
Bracing for mercy, when at their presence, the fallen angel stood
hornless but hoisting machine guns, the demon emulates boyhood
A new DawnIn a new town,
A town called Newtown
Another massacre done
Do we have any chance against evil?
When hammered like fire on anvil
Human loses the soul and acts like a devil?
O man, give them no ammunitions to bedevil
The Principal leaped when the children cried
But the beast has no empathy and no pride
And teachers and children, riddled with bullets, died in vile homicide
And powerless, the cops came late to end the terror of the matricide
A new DawnIn a new town,
A town called Newtown,
The dark cloud is not gone
One time too many; too many of this heyday doomsday
Please get the message and put assault guns away
Let's find each other and care for our sicks everyday
We grieve and hug in peace, then let our love fly away
A light in the sky is bright, like a shining dove: it’s “Principal” light
Few lights clustered in one, behind the main light: it’s “Faculty” light
There go many teenie-beenie lights as one fiery third light, its “Pupil” light
Three lights from the Orient, bring us hope, drowning our hate with delight
It’s a holy dayA peaceful day
It’s a new day
because in despair, doves fly away
