Cho



It was not the language that
He did not understand.
It was the kind of people that
Early on in his life--up 'til
The very end, made him become
A stranger--lost,
Even in the presence of his own family.
He was an angry and sick young man,
And at 23, the 32 (on 05-16-07) he
Put away in a most unspeakable way
Ever in any school campus--
In all history showed
A most horrified world how much.
A one-human life is worth more than
All the money and gold there is, and--
All the animals, both wild and domestic...
Living, dead and long extinct.
Cho was one wild animal that
Should not have lived.
