Boston Marathon 2013 by Chris Sorrenti
What can one say?
That’s the world we live in
Only one way to escape
Until then
Each on our own
Must run a marathon
Every day
Run the gauntlet
Of how human beings
Can be so mean
Cruel to one another
All I know is
When it happens again
And again and again
Want to shout out
Loud as I can
Stop this planet!
And let me off!!!
Don’t want to be here
Anymore

Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 04/17/13 at 12:16 AM Well said, Chris. What a senseless thing to do. |
Posted by Angela Stevens on 04/17/13 at 08:56 PM I am not American but Boston is my heart and thoughts right now. Utterly senseless actions. Hey, if you slow the earth then let me off too, please! |
Posted by Christel Crews on 04/18/13 at 08:41 PM agreed. 100%. let's all take the next shuttle off this planet |
Posted by Alison McKenzie on 04/18/13 at 10:37 PM Yes, I hear that in my own self as well. These days can be chaotic and confusing, that's for sure. And you wrote it out quite precisely. |
