If Only

if only, if only

 

as if threes mean

something imperative

 

and the rambling, imprisoned mind

seeks a sensational release

 

one that could only be tempered

with concrete and rebar

 

but the flag across the way

is at half-staff because

connecticut is in all our hearts

 

all our hearts are connected

by connecticut

 

the connections are cut by

the Lanzas of the world and

the massive attack of teardrops

fill houses with Gregory's major

and malicious depression

 

and both towns are not so new

and their connections are

deeper than skin

 

their names are the same and

so are the massacres

 

just the fact that killings occur

and the numbers need not matter

 

only the names do and

the house called Gregory

would shed tears for them

 

his views on god may or

may not be true and when

the death of innocents come

to pass, it may or may not be

answered

 

it may or may not be

a broken question

 

three pieces to the question

may or may not be imperative

 

if only, if only

Reviews

[Neva Flores Smith - Cha..]

yes, if only.......sometimes this is all we can think when a tragedy such as this happens. Well written Kenneth

[Kenneth The Poet]

Thanks, Neva.

[Muse]

We could go crazy...pondering all the what if's. I can't ask those questions...or I would lose sleep forever. My only comfort...is in thinking that perhaps the light of some..shine too bright for this world. So God takes the light to the stars....to be felt and seen by the dark dark world we live in.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Thanks Muse. Glad you like it.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

There are never any real answers to such a tragedy, at least nine that matter cause none of them will bring those innocent kids back. How do you rationalize a monster in human form?

[Kenneth The Poet]

You can't. All you can do release the feelings within in a positive way. Thank you, Dale.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

You are so correct.

[Rene Velez]

[Kenneth The Poet]
