& after the introductory rites, came the penitential act

& after the penitential act, came the liturgy of the word

& after liturgy of the word, came the homily

& after the homily, came the prayer of the faithful

& after prayer of the faithful, came the offerings

& after the offerings, came the liturgy of the Eucharist

& after liturgy of the Eucharist, came the communion rites

& after the communion rites, came the concluding rites

& after the concluding rites, came men with guns

& after the men with guns, came the angel of death

& after the angel of death, came the news men.

& after the news men, came our tears

We cried, we slept, we awoke and cried again.

PLEASE LEAVE A CLAP OR FIFTY
