King of Kings
Another life is lost
The world will do without
All because of the things
We slip out of our mouth
NO easy or tender way
To extract the truth of this
Only one way to tell it
Today this is it
Amanda Todd just fifteen
Took a life that was so young
Never to see her birthday
For damage had been done
NO question there is fault
Yet we still try to shift the blame
Call it bullying or harassment
Hate has many names
She tried to reach out
Even posted a video as to such
But on October tenth
The pain became too much
Yet and still her death wasn’t
Enough to slow our poor taste
We are missing the message
Evil is a waste
A waste of time and energy
A waste of life causing death
A waste of people who are wasting
Someone’s last breath
She tried suicide before
In fact drank a glass of bleach
She cried out for help
But was treated like a freak
A family now mourns
A beautiful soul lifted up
All because children were
Trying to be so tough
This lesson didn’t have to be
If humanity was in stilled
Instead of populating caskets
Would be hearts that we fill
Good bye beautiful child
I hope you finally find peace
I pray your fragile little heart
Will now be at ease
For the cruelty of humans
Is wasted on the divine
You will finally be accepted
By the Creator of mankind
And while we await our verdict
For the sins we forced on you
I pray we make a change
Or our souls will be taken too
Rest In Peace Amanda Todd
Angel who found her wings
I wish you blessings of peace
With the King of all Kings

I cried so when I read your poem for Amanda Todd.
I have been following the news this week- Have you heard the gruesome story of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway of Colorado? God rest her soul. I am so sad today…
Is there any hope for this human race???
Today is my birthday and haven’t been watching anything…but am getting ready to find out more about her. Thank you for keeping me informed
Much Love
ugh i pray her peace as well….painful….it is harrowing the way we treat people…its no surprise sadly in the outcomes….but still heartbreaking….
I pray we soon learn the painful lesson of all this chaos
Peace to you
really important write. You did a great job illustrating such a bad situation, and how many will fall before society can help as they should. you know, I honestly don’t know what’s happened, perhaps its the internet or instant twitter type of stuff, but when I was in high school and younger, sure there was your teasing and kids picking on kids, but this bullying I don’t really recall it being such a big deal, but today, it’s like these kids all became utterly ruthless, completely inconsiderate as to how their actions truly affect someone, but also society as a whole. Powerful write, glad you wrote it and did it so well. Thanks
Things have definitely gotten more dire. Such a shame that something so sad has to be written. I appreciate your thoughtful comments.
Peace to you
so sad…..
Thank you for your thoughtful comment
I wish you peace
