Violence and tragedy
Dear Editor,
Can tragedies be prevented?
Poet Lorna Goodison bluntly made a character resonate that she was going to buy yards of black cloth. This would assist in making a dress for her son’s funeral, who had embarked on a life of crime.
Why do we think sin and murder cannot be committed in loving homes or praying churches? Those we ‘worship’ are the ones closest to you.
We should not be content to not let our children see evil before them in the open without guidance as to what is good. Unfortunately, however, most do not listen.
Still, bullets and knives do not have caring eyes or hearts.
