A Rictameter Prayer For The Americans by Heng Kaile
I pray
the fragile heart
be bestowed quiet strength
Not be devoured by bitterness
The mind rid of torturing images
Left to react decisively
Aided by tender peace
Earnest wishes
I pray

I wish i can do something more constructive other than pen hollow words. My words are sincere and well-meaning, yet they must seem inadequate and insignificant to those who are still trying to fathom the grave consequences of this madness.

For the Americans: I wish them well.
