Guns, guns, My Goodness, Guns! How about Kids! Kids! Who the Hell would want to murder Kids!!!

I have no idea what the Hell goes through the brain of somebody that could kill young kids, many times over; the only word running through my mind is sick. Why is this man sick? What the hell made this dude wake up one day and decide to waste his parents and as many young school children as possible? As the grief of the situation began to sink in I clicked upon one of the news channels and they were playing theme music to this tragedy! That's when I knew this incident had become commercial. That's when I knew that hype and exaggeration and exploitation of victims were happening. That's when I knew that I could no longer depend on any news source to explain to me the truth of the matter. I'm grieving now, shaking my head in disbelief. I'll write a song about this someday; about how we all got sucked into the news cycle of glamorization and forgot how to realize that these little ones, these defenseless children, who died away from home. Never knowing what was really going on. Wondering where their parents were. Falling asleep. I'm going to go cry now.
