Love And Hate (The Connecticut's Tragedy) Poem by Romeo Della Valle

Love: ultimate expressions
Of the now broken hearts
Burying their tender ones
Fallen victims of the evil's spirit!
The evil's spirit incarnated
In another (once) tender one
Turned into a monster
By his own mother
When taught the evil ways
To love weapons instead of beings!

Hate: ultimate expressions
Of evil and painful acts
Perpetuated by those
Caught in the negligence
And lack of real love
To be provided by their parents!

Sleepless nights well remembered
By those devastated souls
Drowning in an ocean of tears!
Only lesson to be learned:
We are the progenitors
And also the teachers!
Let's all of us teach them
The Art of Love for one another
As taught by our creator!
Now, the poet takes a break
To cry and pray in silence!
