Distant Sparkle

Distant sparkle in the night sky,

I stare up at you,

I wonder, why, why, why?

Light of the world I’m asking you,

How can this be, why is this tragedy true?

My feeble brain squishes inside my head,

Searching for answers from this dread,

But I feel nothing, just my numb, blank stare,

At a television picture reflecting true fear, true hell,

I search for you dark star,

For I know you are there,

I sense your evil everywhere,

This time as a violent thief of tiny, innocent souls,

Distant sparkle in the night sky,

I look up at you, I humbly wonder, why?

Light of the world I’m asking you,

Why did this happen? Why is this true?
