Ah! we are crushed flowers
by some wretched animals
Yes, animals were they all
who could not see us smile.
Their garden sans flowers
they know not the perfume
each budding flower spreads
cheer, happiness and glee.
Our caretaker left all alone
mourning his lost love forever.
choked throat,tears dried
none to see his pain and sorrow.
Never again will any little bud
adorn his withered garden..
O maker of the wide world!
why this violence, onslaught!!
The tender flowers harm no one,
they spread only peace and love
for no fault, their innocence slayed
at the hands of cruel and heartless .
Oh god, give these senseless humans
wisdom to stop this cruel massacre.
The world suffers immense grief
stop this ruthless, brutal barbarity .

It's very distressing that innocent children spreading love met with hatred. You've expressed your emotions so powerfully and I can feel your pain & angst at such vile crime.
