A Moment of Silence
For All Who Have Lost Their Lives Unjustifiab
A moment of Silence
To those who have lost their breaths
Just trying to breathe.
A moment of Silence
To those who were only fulfilling
An unspoken need
Of acceptance
In society's ways of respectfulness. A moment of Silence
For those whom most call a bore
Because he or she might be
Of colorful skin-colored scorch. A moment. One more moment
To grieve, for those who just wish to be seen. Another moment of Silence
To those trying to do the right thing
In a world mixed with hate and greed;
Filled with rage and sheathed
In beauty beyond compare. While darkness surrounds you
A moment of Silence, can you spare?

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.

I wrote this poem for the people of the recent shootings and those who have lost their lives to hate crimes. We must all take a moment of silence for an unjustified death. Thank you for reading!
