Once Again Poem by Jim Yerman

Once again our nation…our world…is mired…in a sad and gloomy fog
as 11 more people have been massacred in a Pittsburgh synagogue…

11 innocent people praying one minute…the next ceasing to exist
11 innocent people added to a long and growing list.

Once again we are filled sorrow…once again our grief we can't disguise
Once again we feel for the families…once again the whole world cries…

Yes, once again we're crying as more of our innocence drifts away
because tears are all we have left…when we have no more words to say.
