The Brutality of Tragedy....

So....this is the third death in three weeks @ my uni and it breaks my heart. So many young people are dying. Now if this aint a sign to the end of time then i sure do think its God say "YO... yal need to step up in prayer" Cause seriously, TOO MUCH bs is happening in this World... nah man...this aint ryt. so nehu... I wrote this poem ages ago and i have been referring to it a lot lately. its so sad man... *sigh* here goes... (copying )


The Brutality of Tragedy by RuTendo DeNise.


He strummed his guitar as the tears eroded his cheeks...
It is with this instrument this broken man speaks...
The pain in his soul diffuses into the air...
He plays a song full with chords of despair...
His eyes swollen from the now dry tears he shed...
From today onwards he shall sleep alone in 'their' bed...
His unkempt hair makes him look hauntingly beautiful...
Vulnerable and torn he looks so hauntingly beautiful...
Tragedy has a way of taming the rebellious soul...
It steals a part of you and leaves this big ass hole...
A hole so big lets call it a void...
There's a couple of things we ALL need to avoid...
Stop taking people for granted like they're always gonna be there...
Its time you stopped reading my note and told someone you care...
 RIP Charlie- gone too soon.
