Thank God for the Killings
Written less than two weeks after the Sandy Hook grade-school killings.

There seems to be more sorrow,
        With the kindergarten killings and all,
        Because there are more people;

There is more good to be done,
        More lives to be saved,
        Because there are more people.

There is more pain to alleviate,
        Because there are more people.

There is more joy in life
        Because there are more people.

There are more happy children playing
        Because there are more people.

There are more children dying
        Because there are more people.

It is good to remember the relation
        between right and wrong:
        The one only exists
        because of the other.

Thank God for the killings.
