Someone should have told him he should not murder others and then kill himself for fame <br />Since all he left of himself is his legacy of shame <br />A gun in the wrong hands can cause sorrow and tears <br />And the kin of his victims left to grieve for years. <br /> <br />For decades of years they will grieve for their loss <br />The burden of sorrow is a heavy cross <br />That the families of his victims are obliged to bear <br />Of the consequences of his actions he was not aware. <br /> <br />The kin of the dead gunman deserve sympathy <br />'Twas hardly their fault he lacked in empathy <br />He was old enough for to know right from wrong <br />He will not be remembered in story and song. <br /> <br />Mass murder by gun is no longer rare <br />Many unstable people with firearms in the big World out there <br />For his warped dreams of fame the innocents had to pay <br />They were in the wrong place at the wrong time that does seem sad to say.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-his-warped-dreams-of-fame/
