Seeking One Who Has Gone. She has been violently taken from us in her school. So cruel, so uncaring, so unknowing whom it would affect. Where does one go to find, even a part of her? Where does one go to witness once again her youthful accomplishments? Where does one go to partake and inhale her sweet scent? Of course the room she rested in, and studied in, And dreamed of what she might eventually become-- Her castle, her music room, her sleeping chamber. So many youths have been taken from us all, By mostly young males, restless, confused, And spiteful of their lack of accomplishment and success. Are they allowed to slip past, because of a misinterpretation Of the Second Amendment, originally written To no longer be victims of a possible king? Have we lost the intent after three centuries of ever modified interpretation Towards the attempt to maintain freedom--whose ever that is. Frank Maurer 3 December 2025 0200 Hours.
