Afterlife or None

Wildlife kills for survival.
Some emotion-rotted
ego-diseased humans
kill with suicidal
exit in en-masse acts
more dastardly than evil.

Co-pilot Lubitz, Flight 9525,
Germanwings, 150 lost,
Seyne-les-Alpes, France.

Adam Lanza, 20 children,
6 staff shot, SandyHook
school, Newtown, Ct.

Seung Hui Cho massacred
thirty-two students, teachers,
Virginia Tech.

I must put my trust in a universe
where the innocent dead
return to sparkling dust
among the stratosphere
while stone-hearted
sick mass slayers
are swallowed in black holes
forever extinguished.
