The Chain of Violence

In sacred night, a blight took flight,

Evil's grasp, hearts stark in its sight.

A vile massacre, shadows cast,

Leaving anguish, a darkness vast.

Reprehensible deeds, deeply abhorred,

Ungodly shock, a tragic discord.

Satanic whispers taint the air,

A grief we bear, a burden to share.

Innocent lives, in cold blood stained,

Hopes and dreams forever chained.

Families shattered, profound grief,

Loved ones lost, beyond belief.

Hatred pierces where bells should toll,

Darkness leads astray, takes control.

Love's warmth should light the way,

Yet darkness came on Christmas eve.

Against violence, though we proclaim,

Rising together, who will break this chain, 

Healing wounds, mending sorrow,

In memory of lives now gone.

Farewell to Life

In this world, we all must go,

The governor's soul, now at rest, we know.

No more struggles, no more fight,

His power and influence, extinguished in the night.

Titles and degrees, no longer hold sway,

His skin, now fodder for termites, they say.

Luxury cars and mansions all left behind,

In death, such earthly treasures, we find.

Protocols and swags, no longer matter,

No security guards, no one to flatter.

In the afterlife, he goes alone,

A lesson for us all, to be shown.

For one day, it may be you or me,

We too shall leave everything, you see.

So remember, as you live and strive,

Death comes to all, let us truly thrive.
